My 2c re Aurors/Magical LE...I think the Aurors are supposed to be the elite fighting force within the magical community and Ministry, devoted solely to catching dark wizards. There are a lot of other employees within MLE who aren't Aurors--Arthur Weasley, for instance.

The Department, to me, sounds like a cross between a regular municipal LE department, the Department of Justice, and the legislature. They are allowed to write laws, after all, as well as enforce them.

That stinks. Maybe that's one of the things Harry is supposed to have "reformed" in his adult career!
