Order of the Phoenix is an Early-Bourgeois-Arisstocratic revolution, like the Dutch or the Downfall of the Stuarts. bunch of Elite Trader Monopolists attempting to promote liberal "freedoms" at the expense of the old Agricultural Feudal Aristocracy.
I think I agree on Order of the Phoenix. Gorn is right in that it's a vanguard to an extent, but vanguards aren't unique to MLs. There have been several cases where leading groups have utilised a country's revolutionary energy and their own organised power/influence to then lead and guide that energy forwards That's what they're doing in the books too. I'm more inclined to think JK Rowling's influence is secret societies, conspiracy, Knights Templar shit and the like though rather than bourgeois revolution. I don't think she has the historical knowledge or interest to write anything other than that, her politics are incredibly shallow.
