I remember when first reading this chapter, I got a weird feeling of the Order being the "Liberation front of Judea" in "The life of Brian": ridiculously self-important and likely to accomplish nothing at all. It all seems to be "We would SO do something, if we knew how and what!!! Because, actually, we can't because we might get caught. But it was SO bad for Voldemort we were alerted to his return early on, so could start doing nothing much earlier!!!"
Not to mention Neville's grandmother yelling "He is NOT the Chosen One, he's a very naughty boy!"
Or how incredibly creepy if Sirius, James, Lily, etc. all sang "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life" while parading Harry to his death...
