Originally Answered: Why did Nymphadora Tonks dislike her name? She thought it was old-fashioned. Nymphadora breaks down into two parts: Nymph - a nymph is a type of female spirit found in Greek mythology; they normally possess shape-shifting powers.
'And this is Nymphadora –' 'Don't call me Nymphadora, Remus,' said the young witch with a shudder, 'it's Tonks. ' 'Nymphadora Tonks, who prefers to be known by her surname only,' finished Lupin.
Harry, returning to the school, looks into the Great Hall and sees Lupin and Tonks lying among the dead. While this is not mentioned in the book, the author has mentioned in an interview since its publication that Tonks was killed by her aunt Bellatrix Lestrange.
This was because werewolf Lupin, conditioned by years of stigma and prejudice, considered himself unworthy of love: that he was somehow too damaged for Tonks to ever return his feelings.
I think part of it is what it sounds like. There's a medical condition called “nymphomania” characterized by intense or frequent libido. I think that early on Tonks liked her name, but when she became a teenager and found out about sexuality, she started to hate it.
At the end of the book, it is revealed that Nymphadora Tonks has fallen in love with Remus (Remus is 13 years older than Tonks). He resisted becoming involved with her because of the risks from his being a werewolf, and he said he is, "too old, too poor, and too dangerous," for her.
Ron, Harry, and Hermione assume she is upset over Sirius' death, and Harry even suggests that Tonks may have been in love with him, which is why she's so crestfallen. It is only at the end of the book that we find that it is Lupin, rather than Sirius, who is the object of her affections.
Sirius Black had a lot of love in his life. Mainly for his best friends but still. One of the greatest loves came not from his connection to James Potter but rather with his relationship to Remus Lupin. The two had an interesting dynamic and one that fans seemed to gravitate towards.
It turns out (naturally) that Sirius was framed, and even after their twelve-year separation he and Lupin remain fiercely devoted to each other. By book 5, the two of them are living together in secret.
But Lupin was actually in despair, convinced that he could not run the risk of marrying and passing on his lycanthropy to a child. Tonks, convinced that Lupin would never spend time with her again, became desperately unhappy.
No. (1) If you mean Teddy Lupin - he was born in April, and his parents died in the Battle of Hogwarts which was in May. He was about a month old when his parents died. (2) If you're asking if Tonks was pregnant for a second time, then it's almost certain she wasn't.
According to Bellatrix, neither Bella nor Narcissa ever spoke to their sister Andromeda again after she married Muggle-born Ted Tonks. Seeing that Narcissa and Bellatrix were Dora's aunts biologically, yes, they knew who she was in name.
Voldemort intentionally made six Horcruxes, but when he used Avada Kedavra on Harry, he unintentionally created a seventh Horcrux. Instead of dying, Lily's love for Harry created a counter 'curse' known as Sacrificial Protection and saved Harry.
Although they both developed feelings for each other, their relationship was complicated by Lupin's firm belief that he was “too old for you [Tonks], too poor. . . too dangerous” (HBP 624). It wasn't until Dumbledore's death that they confronted their feelings, opened up, and resolved their issues.
So, yes, Tonks did have a crush on Harry, but it's more on Harry having a crush on her.
Any Hogwarts house would have been lucky to count Nymphadora Tonks amongst its numbers, but with apologies to Gryffindor, Slytherin and Ravenclaw – this witch is Hufflepuff through and through.
Later on in life Marlene becomes the wife to Pure-Blood Wizard Sirius Black and the mother to their children Half-Bloods Aries, and Artemis Black. She is the sister-in-law to Pure-Blood Wizard Regulus Black, Muggle-born witch Vivienne Price and aunt to Half-Blood Renee Black.
Remus Never Told Dumbledore About Sirius
For one thing, revealing that Sirius was an unregistered Animagus would mean admitting an illegal practice. But Dumbledore also didn't know that they quelled Remus while he was in werewolf form, and admitting so would have greatly betrayed his trust in them.
First Kiss
By the time Chapter 86 rolls around, Remus's angst about his crush on Sirius is already peaking, and so is our anticipation. At Remus's sweet 16, we're rewarded for our patience with our first Wolfstar moment. For those brief seconds that the impulsive kiss lasted, we swear we heard angels sing.
Harry inherits all of Sirius's possessions, including the house at Grimmauld Place, the house-elf Kreacher, and Buckbeak the Hippogriff.
Sirius was an animagus and was able to transform into a big black dog, (a Grim) which is an omen of death, at will. He, along with James Potter and Peter Pettigrew became Animagus to help Remus Lupin with his transformations.
She said that Luna was 'the anti-Hermione. Hermione's so logical and inflexible in so many ways and Luna is likely to believe ten impossible things before breakfast'. It's true in countless ways – Luna was just such a free spirit in a way that Hermione wasn't.
Even so, that was no excuse for Ron to retaliate with something even worse: to meanly say, 'It's no wonder no one can stand her,' loud enough for Hermione to overhear, causing her to flee in tears. Not to mention following it up with, 'So? She must've noticed she's got no friends.
