Arthur at Azkaban

[Carol Bainbridge]

No: HPFGUIDX 47338

My son just pointed out to me that in PoA, the Weasley kids are talking to 
Harry about Azkaban and one of them says that their dad went there just the 
one time.  I tried to look this up in the archives, but it's late and I had 
to give up.  I can't think of why a wizard working in a Ministry of Magic 
office dealing with Muggle artifacts would have a need to go to 
Azkaban.  It didn't sound like he was there as a prisoner, so that leaves 
visiting or some official business.  Who would he be visiting?  Why would 
he have official business there?  Is this part of the reason some have 
suggested that Arthur was really an auror?

  I'm sure this has been discussed already, so if someone will point me in 
the right direction, I'll go hunt up the appropriate messages.
