Carisa,
Before the advent of the one I always take Umbridge to, I was certain 
it would be Tonks. Your assessment of her, her ability and her 
strengths was bang on! I think she'd lighten up the mood too. Only 
reason I can see she may not be asked is that she'll definitely be 
needed on the front. But still, she received a very favorable 
introduction to the readers and I can't see JKR wasting that.
Keep your fingers crossed.
