Personally, I don't think there's anymore to the Tonks storyline in HBP than we discovered. I fully believe that all her appearances were due to Order-related matters, aside from the time when she was outside the Room of Requirement, where I believe that she was indeed looking for Dumbledore. I buy her story completely.
But let us consider, for the sake of objectivity and covering all the bases, that Tonks wasn't exactly Tonks... that perhaps [she] was Draco in disguise. What purpose would it serve? How could it come into play in book 7?
And as a sort of fun aside note:
I go to Mugglenet nearly every day, and a few nights ago while browsing said site I ran across a nifty little invention that I found quite interesting (and entertaining
). Maybe all of you already know about this and I'm just a little late catching the wave, but it seems that Scholastic has an online pronunciation guide for names, places, spells, etc. in the HP books. Naturally I pulled up the site and started clicking like mad, listening to the lovely animated voice say every word on the list. And much to my horror, I found out that I have been saying
several words wrong since the very first time I read the books nearly a year ago
, and I'm still getting used to the fact that some of the words aren't what I thought they were... it's just not the same now.
Here's a link to the Pronunciation Guide, if anyone would care to take a look. Erm, I mean a listen. Whatever.
All (or most of) the ones I've been pronouncing wrong...
Accio
Anamagus/Animagi
Beauxbatons
Bezoar
Dedalus Diggle
Firenze
Legilimency
Nigellus [as in Phineas Nigellus Black]
Rubeus
Seamus
Veritaserum
Voldemort
[with a damn silent "T"
]
Yeah, it's a pretty long list. Sad, I know.
