Okay, see, this is what I get for reviewing before I finished 
reading... The way Tonks was introduced so abruptly, with her unusual 
shape-shifting power, I thought she would end up playing a much 
bigger role than she actually did. Turns out she's just another foot-
soldier in the war, albiet one with an unusual skill. So that's OK.

Luna, on the oher hand, is still very, very *weird*. Cute, but weird.
