marion11111:
I think she meant the Lupin/Tonks marriage even though he was no 
longer a teacher and that story happened much later and wasn't even 
all that significant to the overall plot.  Kind of like telling us a 
character will get a reprieve - leading us to think someone got a 
repreive in the book she was currently working on and not a book 
finished years ago.

I suppose in her mind, the stories had all happened so she could 
switch between past, present and future without considering what we 
did or didn't know.
