Wrod. Because Aurors need to keep an eye on such things.
I'm picturing some very film noir thing with the very chirascuro-friendly Draco being formal but relaxed in a straight-back chair as Harry in his auror robes wanders around an interrogation room asking the occasional leading question.
The wizarding world Hot Box.
Harry as Pembleton.

BWAH! I love recasting!! Hermione = Kay, natch. Ron = Beau...or, possibly, Brodie...or wait Colin = Brodie.
In less fanning-myself-with-one-hand news: Check out the Monster Book of Monsters [link]
See, I was seeing Hermione more as the Wizarding World's Ed Danvers -- she is a Wizard attorney, right?
Ron is definitely Bayless.

Oh! hmmm...I went the easy route with the being a girl and the wild hair.
I don't really see Ron as Bayliss at all. Maybe Neville though.
I think Neville is the expert witness on Herbology that they pull in to resolve some sort of exotic poisoning case.
An HP fansite forum that I read occasionally (Sugar Quill) has been having fun turning all those hilarious "Chuck Norris will f--k you up!" type quotes into ones for Neville--"Draco's hairline wasn't receding, it was running away from Neville!", etc.
That Teddy Lupin fanfic I linked to yesterday just updated, and has Professor Longbottom leading the first-years in to the Sorting, a responsibility/honor given to him by his fellow teachers since he has the connection to the Sorting Hat.

Somebody needs to write a HP characters as Homicide characters fic, stat!
Hermione m ight be more of a Russert than a Kay. I can see her being the first female Captain-equivalent that gets bumped down to Detective for insubordination.
