It seems a little late in the game to introduce a major character
like Tonks, and indirectly Andromeda, if they don't hold some key to
either the past or the future.

And personally, Tonks seems a bit of a red herring to me. I think
her importance is to give Harry information about Metamorphagi &
Aurors, and to introduce Andromeda. Tonks will continue to be
involved in the plot, and will use her Metamophagus skills at some
crucial moment, but she's not going to turn out to be other than she
appears.

Or maybe I'm way off here. :)

And speaking of Tonks--why did she transform into a Dudley-face in 
Chapter 5 (page 85 Scholastic edition). Perhaps that was a red 
herring too and we were just supposed to associate pig with 
Dudders.  But we already knew Dudders was a pig. Coming on the heels 
of the Petunia mystery, it leaps off the page.

I'm sure this was previously covered by long-time posters, but it as 
it reinforces the idea that the missing Andromeda will hold a clue 
to the past, it bears repeating.
