Jan 21, 2016 at 20:57 comment added Geordie Williamson I find it helpful to think about $\mathbb{P}^1 \setminus \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{F}_q)$ as somewhat analogous to the upper half plane (or perhaps more precisely the upper and lower half planes $\mathbb{P}^1 \setminus \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{R})$). In case of finite reductive groups one gets interesting representations (Drinfeld's observation), and holomorphic sections for $SL_2(\mathbb{R})$ gives the discrete series. Beyond that I have no idea. I guess these ideas are not pursued as much because BB localisation gives a pretty convincing picture for real groups.
