Tonks:

Hummmm. Is it possible that the battle in the MoM was TT and the first 
time someone else went throught the veil. Sirius and DD come back to 
send Sirius instead of _______?? Because someone has to die and you 
can't change that, but you can change *who*??  I only have this 
question because you say that LV was there to fulfill the prophecy, not 
just see it.

Oh, it is just all too confusing for me.
