Now me (Sarah):
Well, I can't see Tonks turning, given that she herself is a half-
blood (her dad was muggle born), and I can't see her being accepted 
into the death eater fold.  Tonks isn't even on the Black family 
tapestry, and her dear Auntie Bella hates half-bloods like Harry 
(and like Tonks).  My bet on Tonks is that she's there to teach 
Harry how to be a metamorphmagus.  Remember in the first book how 
Harry made his hair grow after a particularly bad haircut from 
Petunia?  Sounds like Harry's parceltongue ability: he didn't 
realize that everyone else couldn't do this, and so hasn't exactly 
mentioned it to anyone.  Since we might be seeing human 
transfigurations next year (according to Hermione in GoF), we might 
see Harry develop some metamorphmagus ability.

Plus, we've already had an evil auror in a way: fake Mad-Eye in 
GoF.  My bets are still on Percy being on the side of the not-good.  
(Either the Ministry's fight-evil-with-evil or the death eaters.)
