Endearing? Huh?

Tonks is clearly up to something. Consider her introduction: clumsy,
heavily-accented, appearance-changing, at cross purposes with ol' Mad Eye.
Too much detail for a character who has done nothing yet in this story. Also
won over Harry far too quickly.

Definitely fishy.

I figure she'll either A) be Harry's older love interest or B) do ESE deeds.
Since this series is somewhat geared to young adults, I doubt the former
(although it'd make for a good adult fanfic). Therefore she will obviously
be the one to trick Harry into a situation in HBP so dire that DD will have
to sacrifice himself to save the day, after which Harry will be forced to
turn to Snape for help during book 7. QED

Sorry, I'm just knee-deep in predictions at the moment, couldn't resist
recycling that old one. <g>

I was once an avid reader of SciFi/Fantasy, as well, and have no issue
combining. They are often impossible to effectively distinguish, since one
man's technology is another man's magic.

Hey! I know a veiled insult when I see one--and your father smelt of
