2)Voldermort (evil)
3)Harry(good
4)Snape(evil)
5)McGonagall(good)JK wouldn't just bring him in the books and take him out , would she ? hes there for a reason
so many ?
I think the most clever person in all of the books was Barty Crouch Jr. I mean think about it, Harry's probably the most dense person in that book, but yet he still gave Harry the hints for him to win. I mean he played everyone for a fool, for merlins sake he was right under Dumbledores nose, and the old man didnt have a clue.
cheers.

he was skilled, yes, but quirrel too was able to fool DD, and he wasn't that great....
barty seemed to me as the third most skilled DE, behind Snape and lestrange.
The Quirrel part is true but you must remember he had Voldemort on the back of his head. Meaning he had all of Voldemorts knowledge, skill, ie: Occlumency.
But I do agree with you about Snape and Lestrange.
Cheers.

Flitwick seems to physically weak to me and he's not member of the order as far as i know, so I don't think that he is one of the very best IMO.
Hm why isnt he a part of the order? I dont really get that, I mean he seems like a trust worthy fellow, so whats up?
hmm oh well cheers.

SO?! the OotP aren't the only strong wizards. And about being physicallly strong? Dumbledore would lose to Hagrid in a fist-fight, but whos the beter wizard?
remember, DD has several times surprised harry with his strength.
Physical strength is also quite important, when being hit by a spell, flitwickwould certainly be more damaged than a strong guy.

members of the order are wizards who have fought voldemort. so it's not an issue of how good or powerful a wizard someone is but whether someone fought voldemort that determines if someone is a member of the order.

not to be rude or anything but, that has nothing to do with what i said. I was asking why he wasnt in the order, I said nothing about him being powerful.
1. Dumbledore - Though with Harry's mother's blood to protect him Voldemort is pratically tied, Dumbledore found out about the Horcruxes and already thinks he knows what all of them are. He is, no doubt about it, the smartest wizard/witch
2. Voldemort - who else?
3. Snape - By HBP Harry is very strong, yet he couldn't even harm Snape. Snape fooled Dumbledore.
4. Quirrell - He fooled Dumbledore, nearly stole the Sorcerer's Stone from Hogwarts and would have stole it from Gringott's had Hagrid not took it out. Now, it's supposed to be impossible for someone to steal something from Gringott's and the stone was in a top security vault. Yet he would have stole it had it been there. At the Quidditch match Quirrell nearly had Harry off his broom, even with Snape trying to keep Harry on the broom, which suggests that Quirrell is stronger than Snape. However, I will say by HPB Snape is stronger than Quirrell.
5. Bellatrix Lestrange - She easily beat OOTP Harry. She also beat Sirius and Kingsley. Before fighting her Kingsley had beat 2 Death Eaters at the same time.
People who deserve honorable mentions: Flitwick, Rufus, McGonagall, Sirius, Lupin, Kingsle, Amelia Bones and Barty Crouch Jr.
