Tonks:
I am a Psychotherapist.  I am not making this up and it is universal 
for a woman who is not a lesbian. Since you are tying to make this 
personal, I will say for the record that I had a very good 
relationship with my own father. 

You can agree with me or not, but I am just telling you what it 
looks like from my professional POV. Of course, I can not know for 
sure since I have not discussed the matter with her personally.  I 
can not see her non-verbal messages regarding her father, hear what 
her view of God is, etc.  It is just a speculation at this point, a 
hypothesis.
