Cassy:

Funny, I first came across this pairing in fanfics and thought this
relationship to be rather strange and far-fetched. Imaging my astonishment
when it became canon. I suppose, JRK just _had_ to fix Lupin with someone
(if only to stop people thinking slash thoughts. ^_~) However, I never saw
him particulary attached to Tonks, either in OOTP, or HBP. Frankly, in the
hospital wing scene I couldn't help thinking that he only uses his werewolf
condition as a reason to turn Tonks away, because he doesn't want to offend
her by telling that he doesn't really like her.
