Lupinlore replied:
Oh, now this is REALLY a stretch. Failure of communication between
adult and teenager being led astray by the forces of evil? I'm sure
my mother and father never knew how many times they supped with 
Satan!


Tonks now:
Ah, Lupinlore, I know that you like to fight for the fun of it and I 
am not rising to the bait except to say that you misunderstood what 
I meant here.  Harry being lead astray by the forces of evil, means 
the connection that he has with LV in his mind and the way that LV 
used that against Harry.  And this happened because Harry did not do 
what he knew he should have done.  

Of course, I disagree with everything else you have said, but what 
else is new.  ;-)

OK, I'll give you a tidbit
  Poor communication is no excuse. There 
was enough communication for Harry to know what he was to do.  Harry 
is still responsible for his choices and actions and no amount of 
trying to blame someone else is going to change that. Period.
