Alla:

And if I may go back to my original question. What you just said is 
perfectly understandable, but for the fact that Dumbledore's "belt 
and suspenders approach" just does not seem to work very well, does 
it?

I mean, if those folks are Order Members, then I have no case, it is 
just I am incredibly puzzled of their way of keeping watch over 
Harry - deliberately directing Harry's attention to them.

To me those folks seem to be doing what Steve suggested as his 
second idea - thanking Harry, etc, basically doing celebrity 
hunting. And if they do THAT, Dumbledore's security measures do not 
seem to be worth a dime to me, since anybody can locate Harry, 
anybody. IMO of course.
