Bobbi:  We have to remember that except for Chapter 1, "The Other
Minister" and Chapter 2, "Spinner's End" in HBP, we only see things
from Harry's point of view.  Harry did not suspect they were a
couple, and so we were not given any information about that either.
It sounds as if lots of conversations were being had between Lupin
and Tonks that we were just not privy to.
