could control nature to some extent, but not their “human-ness”.

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.

I never got any sense of how Lupin and Tonks worked anyway. What attracted her to him, what they had in common... wish Rowling had filled in just a little of that.

I think Harry snapped him out of that, because he went back and lived with Tonks until the end, and sent Harry the message that his judgment was spot on.

Yea, but why did she have to kill off Tonks? That I don’t understand... besides plot expediency?
