Order threatening Dursleys at the end of OOP

I just had a thought - as I wrote in the past, I used to think that 
JKR would be much much better off without that scene because if she 
wanted to maintain some kind of credibility over Dumbledore not 
checking on Harry, well IMO that was not it. Thunderstorm did not 
struck and Harry was not thrown out on the streets.

But I just thought that maybe indeed we do have the example of Order 
members exercising independent thinking and doing what great Albus 
Dumbledore did not approve of or at least did not know of, since he 
is not here.

Of course I am dreaming since most likely Dumbledore ordered them to 
do so and did not come because he did not want to make Harry more 
angry, but I can dream, can I?

So maybe they do use their brains sometimes without asking 
Dumbledore first.

Oh, and even if it served no other purpose but cheering Harry up a 
bit that they are on his side, I think this was useful.

JMO,
