Aurors

Its really interesting what perspectives we all have on the aurors. 
I'm an australian, and although i keep up with world politics, we do 
not really have a recognisable military force like the SAS etc here 
to relate to. I tend to think the aurors would be more of an 
intelligence service than brute military strength. (lets face it, 
aurors are challenging dark magic - that would take cunning, daring 
and intelligence, violence wouldn't be much help if you're up against 
avada kedavra lets face it!). 

It seems to me that Dumbledore abhores violence (his attitude towards 
the use of dementors a good example), and trusts moody implicitly, 
therefore i feel that he would not have Moody at the school if aurors 
generally were like the SAS.

In addition to this, we dont know the real moody yet. We hear about 
him second hand from Amos Diggory and Arthur Weasley at the beginning 
of GoF regarding the disturbance in his rubbish bins, and then at the 
end when he attends the leaving feast.  From memory, I think the only 
other auror we have any chracter information on at all is Frank 
Longbottom, and details on the Longbottoms are still very sketchy. 

so thanks what i think anyway. disagree to your hearts content :-D
