Sirius death-more than ever has affirmed the belief that a 
relationship with someone can be hazardous to your health.  The DEs 
and Lord V. tend to strike out at the ones we care about-I do not 
think either Tonks or Remus would put the other into jeopardy just to 
fill a surrogate role as Harry's parents.  Too, does Harry really 
need surrogate parents?  He has Lupin, Dumbledore and even Mad-Eye 
all playing a partial role already.  As for mothers-he has his fair 
share there, too: Petunia (albeit a horrible one), Mrs. Weasley, and 
even Hermione tends to want to tell him what to do and reprimand him. 
It would be nice for Lupin to have someone-but I just don't buy this 
SHIP.
