Dumbledore always struck me as a third party kind of guy.  He doesn't seem to 
have much faith in the current system.

I think Lupin would almost have to be to the left, unless their platform 
wasn't strong on the rights and respect of magical creatures.

I think the Weasleys, with the exception of Percy, are probably loyalists to 
a left party.

Malfoy gives money to everyone, but votes for the pure blood.

As I write this though I wonder if wizards vote at all.  We've never heard 
anything about general elections, and the Ministry seems to be one big 
bureaucracy.  There doesn't seem to be a legislative body of any kind.  Thoughts?
