(Based on my own unscientific impressions as I read the posts.)  So 
when I discovered that Voldemort had killed her, my immediate 
instinct was that she would have been a strong contender for that 
post in the wizarding world too, and *that* is why Voldemort killed 
her.  She would have been too effective, so she had to go.

Just to further prove this point, look at the guy who ended up 
becoing the Minister of Magic.  The guy who used to head the Auror 
division of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.  So, basically 
the guy who used to work for Bones ended up becoming MoM.  So if she 
hadn't died, it's perfectly reasonable that she would've gotten the 
job instead.  Imagine the terror if the person you planned on voting 
for to become Minister was offed by Voldemort.  Certainly implies 
that he can get to anyone, doesn't it?
