I liked getting to see the way the Order members related to each other -- up until that point, we'd seen so little of the adults' relationships with other adults. I liked it that they were realistically frustrated and argumentative and afraid.
I liked getting a look at James and Sirius and Remus and Peter as teenagers, and the puncturing of the myth of "the sainted James Potter." I liked it that Sirius and Snape remember James so differently, and that they're both to some degree right.
I liked Harry getting angry, and Hermione starting to show a ruthless streak, and Ron being responsible as a prefect, and Neville being determined and stubborn. I liked seeing more hints at who these people will be as adults.
