Arthur loves Muggles, but that’s like hobby for him. He’s very wise and he’s trustworthy. We took him for granted because he was overenthusiastic when it comes to muggle artifacts, but he’s capable of much more. DD knows this, and now when it’s really important to have somebody with clear head as Minister, I think he stands a chance to becoming one. Minister of Magic is a powerful position and people will now more than ever want DD to become one. Since DD already refused that position, having Arthur as close friend of DD as one, would be a wise choice. Whoever becomes Minister in the end, it must be somebody who would want that position not for the power, but for ability to make right choices at the right time. Now that wizarding world knows that Voldemort is back, not a lot of people will want that position. In fact, I think current Minister would be happy to step down, since he’s shown only concern for his own wellbeing. So, maybe that’s how Arthur will get the job- nobody else would want to take it, and DD would tell Arthur that he wants him to be Minister. Regardless how Arthur might be against holding that position, he would listen to DD and understand how important it is.
