Why "loathed"? If Amelia ever were asked What is an Auror?, she would not reply, "An Auror is a wizard or witch with a badge and a blue wand"; no, she would answer, "An Auror is someone who’s paid to solve problems that nobody else can solve." But Auror Dawlish did not solve problems, he caused them. He was a martinet and a blood-purity bigot, who never should have been promoted from Auror Second Class. But thanks to Dawlish’s Uncle Cornelius, all of Amelia’s efforts to discipline Dawlish had been undone, whilst Dawlish had received undeserved promotions that Amelia could not stop.
