Pat here:

Yes, I've wondered the whole thing.  It seems to be just the reason 
for including Tonks's unusual abilities, doesn't it--as well as the 
references to his hair growing back overnight.  It also fits right 
in with Harry wanting to be an auror.  Tonks as we have seen, has 
this special useful talent, but in other areas she definitely isn't 
perfect.  Perhaps if Harry is a metamorphmagus, it won't matter so 
much if he isn't perfect in some other area--such as potions.  Now 
wouldn't that just peeve Snape to no end?
