Lupin/Tonks was just weird... it's like she had no idea what to do with them, so she married them off and then killed them!
It can't be a good sign that my thoughts as I was reading the sequence were roughly :
A) "They got married?! That was quick! And the marriage is unhappy because Lupin is gay and Tonks won't admit it and let him go"
B) "Tonks is pregnant already? Was she *before* they got married? Is Lupin even the father, because I could totally see him doing something as stupid as marrying her to give the baby a name?"
C) "Lupin has been replaced by a Death Eater because the whole 'it is I, Remus John Lupin' sounds like he's about to start singing 'Lord of La Mancha'"
D) "Lupin is giddy over the baby because he never though he'd be a father (gay, you know, and also a werewolf) and this is the best thing ever"
E) "WTF? Does being pregnant and a mom make you *stupid*? Tonks is desperate to find Lupin? Where the *HELL* did the kickass Auror go? Srsly, JKR, this is insulting to all women who have kids *and* careers."
Really, it's one of those times where I wonder what kind of message JKR is trying to write in.
Snape is another, because I'm waffling between "Unrequited love was his motivation? Ugh, did he never grow up?" and "He protected his best friend's son because she would have wanted him to, that's amazingly cool..."
I do not that Snape was obsessed with Lily the same way Sirius was obsessed with James -- I wonder if JKR intended that.
