that I don't care who or what DD fancies, I have no "deep intuitive 
sense of our most beloved person" - DD is a character in a fictional 
series of books that I enjoy reading.

Tonks:
I think if most people had that detached feeing about the books that 
you do they too would not be upset either. It is just a book. But to 
many people is it more than just a fictional series. That was my point. 
People feel that Harry's world is real. I have talked to many people, 
both children and adults that have such a deep longer of their heart 
for this world to be real. Are they all crazy? No. They are in touch 
with their subconcious more than others. And the subconcious recognizes 
the truth that is within the ‘story’.  Remember when Ron and Hermione 
debate about the Story of the DH being ‘just a children’s story’ or 
something more.  The HP are, for most of us, “something more”.
