a_svirn:
All the difference for Tonks – yes. But why it had to make all the 
difference for Harry? Tonks and Lupin were adults. Tonks was 
certainly a big girl. I don't think or, rather, I hope that she 
wouldn't have appreciated his championship. He was certainly unjust 
when he called Lupin a coward and a daredevil. For one thing, one 
cannot be both at the same time, for another, Lupin was neither.

a_svirn:
He intended both. And while it is not very admirable as far as Tonks 
was concerned, it wasn't Harry's business to take him to task, much 
less to insult him.
