(1)Minerva McGonagall
(16)Bartemius "Barty" Crouch Jr.
Abstain for now. I'd hate to jump the gun and vote Barty only for this to turn out closer than I think.
(8)Quirinus Quirrell
(9)Rufus Scrimgeour
Quirrell sucks. Why yes, that's all my logic for this match.
(5)Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody
(12)Lavender Brown
I found Mad-Eye Moody to be a completely underwhelming character after Crouch Jr. I had far more respect for him when I believed him to be the sinister- perhaps crazed from years of fighting dark wizards- veteran that turned students into ferrets and demonstrated Forbidden Spells right in front of students with zero regard to the consequences. When Rowling basically b****-slapped my perceptions up to that point I expected the actual Moody to be as awesome if not far moreso, but... he wasn't. He was just some cautious old guy who kept the younger Aurors in check, which... well Molly or Shacklebolt could've done just as easily. Part of his appeal is that he's the wizened vet of the team who's accomplished these great feats in the past, but... I can't recall any of them. Were they not detailed or did I just forget them because they weren't so spectacular?
Anyway Lavender "Lav-Lav" Brown has a pretty interesting dynamic as far as background characters go. She's known for hanging around Parvati and Hermy when the latter wanted to escape the boys, doting on Trelawney, flirting with Firenze, and... best of all dating Ron. She was a pretty bad girlfriend- overly obsessive and emotional- but this is what made her interesting.

(13)Pansy Parkinson
Hmmm... badass werewolf with the tendency to f*** s*** up or background female Slytherin who does nothing. Decisions, decisions...
