Position 2: Alastor Moody
Alastor “Mad-Eye” Moody is often regarded as the best and most capable Auror of all time. Over his many years as an Auror, he earned an unparalleled reputation. Especially among Hogwarts students, he is almost legendary.
During his heyday, he was the terror of every Death Eater. Half of all cells in Azkaban are said to have been filled by him personally. He was not only an excellent duelist but also knowledgeable in many areas of magic. Even Voldemort himself respected Moody in a way as a dangerous threat.
Another nice advantage came from his magical eye, which is responsible for his nickname Mad-Eye. With this eye, Moody could see through tables, walls, and even Disillusionment Charms, which is undoubtedly extremely useful for an Auror.
