Well Tonks is related to the Weasley's, Sirius said that Molly was 
his cousin and Arthur was his 2nd cousin, it's in the Noble and most 
ancient house of black chapter, when sirius said that he's related 
to Tonks, Molly, Arthur, and THE MALFOYS!. You might have skipped 
over it, it's not that compelling, but what i found intereresting 
was how Sirius put it. It seems to me that lots of people are 
getting "blown" off the family tree, except for people that are dead 
and did not give money to sirius, there are lots of things in there 
that i found interesting. the cousin being able to change her 
appearance that is an important bit of information, i don't think it 
was meant that she be so nice to harry but as it turned out they go 
well together, maybe she is going to teach harry how to change. and 
i would like to know when harry, ron, and hermoine going to begin 
training to change into animals. that has been referred to so many 
times i don't see it not happening, but i wish they would start it.
