Lupin: Tonks is neat, kind of a punk-rock chick with a sense of humour. Lupin is definitely likeable, but that werewolf thing is a bit off-putting. I wouldn't want to go drinking with the guy during a full moon. What I don't understand is why Lupin can't mix his own potion to prevent transformation. Even if it was tough, I should think he would want to learn that one potion anyway. Ah well, I guess Tonks and Lupin will work it all out in the next book.
