vidar_fe:
This is a very good theory. It's so simple, and yet explains 
everything. However, I don't think she necessarily has to change her 
gender. If Tonk just changes the general shape of her body, could 
that possibly be enough to put her off balance? Let's say, for 
instance, a significant increase / decrease of weight?

Look out for the fat lady! :-)
