6. She Revealed She Nearly Didn't Kill Tonks And Lupin
The relationship between Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks is one of the most complex and tender relationships in the entire Harry Potter series. Lupin, who suffers lycanthropy, is utterly conflicted by his feeling for Tonks, afraid that he will endanger her or make her a societal outcast, despite her repeated protestations that the whole thing doesn't matter. Things are complicated further when after they're eventually married Tonk falls pregnant, much to the distress of Lupin. Sadly the two characters don't live particularly long after the birth of their son Teddy, as both are killed in the Battle of Hogwarts. It's a heartbreaking moment, made all the more so by the fact Rowling revealed that they almost didn't die. In fact, the only reason she killed them was because she wanted to kill parents in order to create an echo of what happened to Harry. Tonks and Lupin, then, just so happened to fit the bill.
