Alla:

Yes, they were on Voldemort's enemies list probably just as any member of the Order and not every order member died in the first war. They only went to hiding after learning about prophecy, so I do not see why you would compare them to Prewetts and say not to Lupin or Mad Eye.

I know that Lupin  and Mad Eye died in the second war, but to me it is more like JKR killing off most of the adults to show off younger generation, I think that there was a very strong possibility that but for Snape they could have been alive at least much longer than they were.

JMO,
