ME: For me, the whole Harry!Azkaban theory hinges on knowing who 
currently heads the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. We know 
what happened when Crouch was there, loads of the accused simply 
disappeared off to Azkaban. If the right guy is in there, Malfoy 
won't have to *prove* anything!

And, on a side note...who will head up the Department of 
International Magical Cooperation now that Crouch, Sr. is gone? 
Dumbledore has placed a great deal of importance on unifying the 
major magical powers. 

"
promote and further magical understanding between different 
cultures – such ties are more important than ever before."

"We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided."

"Voldemort's gift for spreading discord & enmity is very great. Can 
fight it by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust."

This sounds like a biiiig mistake that the WW made the first time 
around and that Dumbledore doesn't want to see repeated. Whoever is 
appointed to this position probably will have a profound impact on 
the outcome of this upcoming battle/war/thingy, IMHO. Does 
Dumbledore think this is an important enough role for himself to 
play? Personally, I fear Fudge's fondness for Lucius.
