Tonks is Tonks

Lately there have been several threads arguing that in book 6, 
Tonks is actually Narcissa Malfoy. I have to say, I find this idea 
to be completely far fetched (which means it is probably right haha).
I do not see Tonks' strange behavior in H.B.P as needing any other 
excuse besides being young and in love with someone who won't return 
that love. 

Some have pointed out that we do not see Tonks being 
clumsy in this book. Well,we don't see her being very busy either. 
In O.O.P, she is a state of motion. She is "helping" Mrs. Weasley 
cook, helping Harry pack. She is constanly being active, so her 
clumsiness is bound to show up more. In H.B.P., she is sitting at 
the Weasleys' table, she is moping around the castle. She is much 
more passive, and also normally in large open spaces where it would 
be hard to be clumsy, I.M.O. 

The patronus situation is also used as proof for some that Tonks == Mrs. Malfoy. I see this situation as proof that this idea is wrong. First of all, Tonks  finds Harry and helps him into the castle. Why exactly would Narcissa help the boy who basically landed her husband in prison and has been the bane of her son's existence for 5 years? Then there is Snape's very cold welcome. Snape sees the Patronus and recognizes it for what it is, a werewolf. We have never seen Snape be particularily nasty to Order Members except Sirius and Lupin. Why does he turn on Tonks now? Because he recognizes instanly what Harry takes all year to understand, Tonks is in love with Lupin. Snape hates Lupin, thus Snape now hates Tonks. Also, I don't believe that someone could fake their Patronus. If Narcissa has one, I don't think it would be a werewolf. I can't see how that would be comforting to anyone who wasn't in love with one. 

Tonks' appearance in Hogwarts isn't stange to me either. We know that she is on patrol in and around the Castle, so why couldn't she be there quickly if she thought the man she loved was in great danger? 

Well these are some of the reasons that I don't support this theory. I know there are people who disagree with me on several or all of these points, but that is what is so fun about these groups. I would love to know if anyone has any canon proof to either support or argue the points mentioned above.
