HHmm, I like this.  Sorry Tonks fans.  I liked her too but if I had 
to choose between her and Sirius, I'd choose Sirius.  We shall know 
if we see Tonks isn't as clumsy as she was in OotP.  That seemed to 
be one of JKR's major selling points about Tonks.  The only problem 
is that Professor Dumbledore told Harry, that Snape requested Sirius 
stay put at 12 Grimmauld Place, but Sirius refused to.  Of course, 
that doesn't mean they hadn't already switched so Sirius could get 
out for the evening or something.  I admit, I will grasp almost any 
straw if it means Harry can have Sirius back, LOL!

Lynnette, who thinks Snape IS a good guy, even if he is NOT a nice
guy!
