I think there is canon that she was at Hogwarts, and she makes 
reference to her Head of House not choosing her for Prefect, yet 
never says who that Head of House was. Now, if Harry doesn't know 
Cormac who is in his House and only one year older, how likely is it 
he would know Tonks who is older, if she were in a different House? 
Heck, for that matter, she could have been in Gryffindor.

Do I remember though, that no new Aurors had been accepted in 4 years 
at the time Harry was talking to McGonagall? How will that work into 
the mix?


Kathy W, as good at maths as JKR is.
