"fuzz876i":
Voldemort created so much hatred and despair including putting 
a nine year old under the Imperius Curse and killing one child 
with a werewolf.  Why couldn't Lupin love Tonks in this world 
gone mad?  Those that were gathered around Bill's bed in the 
hospital wing realized that Dumbledore was dead; they were 
making statements as to what he would have wanted.  The one 
reason the killing curse bounded off Harry onto Lord Voldemort 
was because of his mother's self-sacrifice.  This being said, 
people that can love and be loved can ultimately help destroy 
Lord Voldemort.  So why can't Tonks truly love Lupin?  In this 
world of destruction it is better to love than hate because if 
you hate then it makes it easier to become a Death Eater.
