I can't see Snape, of all people, ignoring security 
protocols by failing to make sure of someone's identity, 
especially when that someone has an altered patronus 
and custody of a missing Harry Potter.  The fact that 
he apparently fails to make sure that Tonks is really 
Tonks makes me think that saying "Nymphadora" is the 
way Order members verify Tonk's identity.  If she 
frowns (and she does frown at Snape) then it's the real Tonks.

Of course it could also be a clue that the person who 
came down to the gate and the person who delivered 
Harry to the Burrow were one and the same--heh, heh.

Hmmm  I like Tonks (and I like Snape) and I would just 
as soon see her with anybody but Lupin, but I don't know.

Snape jealous of Lupin over Tonks would be a nice 
touch, but I can't quite see a woman who would fall 
for Remus being attracted to Snape and I just can't 
stand the thought of the poor man being a victim of 
unrequited love yet again.
