Potioncat:
I think you have a very good point here. I certainly agree that the use 
of Nymphadora wasn't a dig. I know she tells Harry to call her Tonks 
and I know she doesn't like her name, but DD uses it and no one thinks 
he was trying to insult her.

But even better, I like your interpretation of the rest of the 
conversation. It sure would help to understand what the previous 
Patronus was and who it might have represented.
