Tonks:
The moment that gripped me the most and I had not thought of it as 
identifying with Harry, but I guess it was. It was when he saw Fred 
on the ground and then looked again and saw Lupin and Tonks next to 
Fred lying there dead. I screamed and cried and carried on so that 
my neighbors in the apartment below must have thought that I had 
just lost my entire family. I just felt that if I were Harry, I 
could not go on. I would just put my arms down to my side and walk 
up to LV and say ‘just kill me now’.  My heart broke right along 
with Harry’s. I felt his pain as my own. I felt that all was lost, 
there was no reason to go on, the enemy had won.
