Looks like magic folk could control nature to some extent, but not their “human-ness”. They also referred to Tonks getting pretty big, and it seems that Teddy’s arrival was some months after Lupin told them about it. I’m thinking if they were to be able to do magic I would take care of some of the inconveniences of pregnancy, wouldn’t you?
On a completely salacious note:
It seems from Lupin's description of Teddy's color-changing hair (and that Tonks did the same), Teddy is a metamorphagus.
Tonks used to change the shape of her nose. You gotta know that a boy with those powers wouldn't be wasting time on his nose....
No wonder Victoire is so enamored of him! ;-)
ROTFL! I love it!
Yes, that's true. For example, they could probably do something about morning sickness and stretch marks - but a baby's got to grow, so a mother's got to expand.
On the subject of Tonks and Lupin, I thought their dying heroically was a pretty good expedient, because it didn't look like the marriage was going to work out. Remus was in such a fuss over being a werewolf that it would, I imagine, be like being married to an amputee who obsessed on the missing limb, even if nobody else in the family cared.
Maybe the final cost of such is too high?
(I'm reminded of book 10 of the Robert Jordan World of Time series, where one of the primary characters is pregnant, and she has a hard time controling her abilty to weild "magic" due to the change in the hormones. It's pretty interesting...)
