Neville's accidents

I've been reviewing some of Neville's numerous accidents, and I notice that most of them hurt himself only or primarily, if anyone was hurt at all.

Except one, that I recall.

The professor who amused himself by zooming Trevor about the classroom, himself was later thrown violently about by Neville's malfunctioning charm.

WHAT a coincidence.

The Effectiveness of the Order of the Phoenix

[terri-testing.livejournal.com]

In my post “No Hostages for Harry,” I noted that the Order of the Phoenix did not, shall we say, provide a shining example of successful guerrilla resistance to Tom’s takeover of the WW. Of course, by then the Order had lost its peerless leader. And despite arranging for his own death, that leader had made no provision for an effective successor, nor left the group any instructions except “Harry is our best hope. Trust him.”

So, how effective was the Order before they lost the inestimable advantage of Dumbledore’s leadership?
