Tonks

Umbridge or MacGonagall says that they haven't taken and new Aurors in a few years, however we know that Tonks is relatively new to the force. She seems pretty young, and I think auror training is supposed to last for about 3 years. That would mean she would be a 6th or 7th year at Hogwarts when Harry started, if she was just out of Auror school. I suppose she is in her mid twenties or so to make her old enough that she wouldn't have been in school with Harry. 

As well, I'm very anti-conspiracy theory in this yahoo group, but she can change her appearance at will. I hope what we know of her is the origional, but we can't rule out her disguised as someone completely. 

Personally, I like her, although she doesn't have the biggest role. I suppose Harry's life was getting too mundane, and JKR had to throw in some bizarre character.
