Now Me:

I also think the possiblity of a connection between Tonks abilities 
and the things we have been told about Harry's hair is interesting.  
I tip my hat to those of you who first made the connection.  
Something at least similar, if not exactly the same as, Tonks 
Metamorphmagus magic did occur when Harry regrew his hair over night.

I like the hint that Harry could possibly have some Metamorphmagus 
powers that he is unaware of, but I don't think I want it to go any 
further than that as a potential plot point.  I can't exactly put my 
finger on why, but I think this power to change his appearance at 
will would make Harry harder for me as the reader to relate to.

I like Tonks.  I'm not sure how big of a role she and her abilities 
will play in the coming books, but I do think some future plot point 
was set up by her inclusion in book 5.  Maybe Tonks will show up in 
disguise with some role at Hogwarts?
