akh:

Adding that scenario, we widen the field of possible SHIP twists. It could
be argued, of course, that we've already seen the Harriet/Knightly dynamic
in book 6, when Tonks is revealed to be pining for Lupin rather than
mourning her cousin, as many suspected.

Lynda:

I thought from fairly early in OOP that Tonks/Lupin was a possibility. I
guessed pretty well from the text that she liked him and Lupin's generally
fairly reticent, so anything was possible there, although I didn't get a
sense of indifference from him at all. And I was fairly certain that the
assertions from Hermione et al that Tonks was pining for Sirius were
incorrect. As Ron (?--sorry--my copy of HBP is not at hand) remarks they
didn't know each other all that well even if they were cousins.
