Agreed.

I think it's also important to note that well, this was a pretty serious war. I think fans forget that the war wasn't taking place overseas... it was a war in their backyards. People were in survival mode, and not necessarily survival for themselves.

But I also get the impression that JKR wanted Remus - and Tonks, for that matter - to be bigger than they ended up being. It felt like we only got 1/4 of a story, a story that was largely taken out of the books. As much as I loved TDH and as much as I admire JKR, I do think that it was a poor writing decision. I can certainly see where she was going, what she was trying to imply and get across - but it was poorly constructed.
