Sue:
Yeah!  Thanks for the response!  I agree with what you had to say 
about Tonks, she is the first act. We have not seen what someone with 
those capabilities and 150 of life experience can do.  For that 
matter we haven't seen what Tonks can do if she needs to.  I do like 
the idea that Harry has more to work with than we yet know as well.  
So maybe...
