Thoughts on Tonks - LONG and rambling (was:Re: What's In A Patronus?)

I have read these theories with great interest, though, I admit, I do 
not believe them. With all due respect, I will try to open up the meta-
question, which is: if you assume the theory that someone (Narcissa, or 
anyone else) is impersonating Tonks, can you theorize the author's 
motivation or idea behind such a story arc? The motivation behind 
Molly's, Lupin's, and Harry's words (with respect to Tonks) in HBP to 
all be either completely wrong or lies? Or the motivation for such a 
complex, multi-book story arc to spring up among minor characters, in 
the second-to-last book of the series? I am not seeking clarification 
upon the theory as far as the plot details, but as to how this idea 
would fit into the series the author has presented. Do you think it 
would fit in with the themes that JKR has presented so far? I don't 
think it would, but, it's not my theory. I am honestly interested in 
this.
