Joey:

I think the thought that Sirius affected Tonks' mental state was 
just a perception of Hermione's and Harry seems to have just 
accepted her notion to be correct (as he believes in her ability to 
interpret people's feelings - "it was Hermione's territory" per 
him). IMO, Sirius' death would have affected her just like it 
affected everyone else but not to the extent of affecting her 
magical powers. It was Lupin's initial rejection that affected her 
magical powers. Once she gets his love, she's back to her usual old 
self - in DD's funeral, Harry notices that she was holding hands 
with Lupin and that her hair was bubblegum pink again.
