Neri:
Well, it looks like hetero males don't write FF, so I guess we don't 
have a right to complain about the shortage of interesting witches. 

Tonks has a HUGE potential, and until now it was all wasted. Her 
mother was denounced by her wealthy family, but Tonks doesn't seem to 
care. She has a gift every woman dreams about, and what does she use 
it for? Instant hair dye and funny noses at dinner. It looks like she 
became an Auror for the fun. Her single flaw is knocking furniture 
around. The woman is depressingly well-adjusted. Sirius, Lupin and 
Snape were more complex than that at fifteen.

I can still hope, can't I? There's always next year's DADA teacher.
