I felt the same as well.. I was surprised when I knew that they had married..Fleur and Bill deiced to marry a year before..I was expecting they will going together but not marry that fast and She became pregnant too ..May be that was good at the end cause they will die so they lived happily with each other before they kick the box

Oh no, I don't mean their relationship progressing - it's just, they'd only just got together a month before, then we find out they are married. I mean like, everything happens in a year. It could just be because I analyse the characters so much, I didn't expect them to get going so quickly. Still, I'm glad they did - otherwise, they might have died before getting married and ickle Teddy-kins being born. But y'all are right, people do get together quickly in the time of war. And when you think about it, it wasn't all happening in the space of like, three months. A year, more like (Teddy was born in April or May). Their deaths were more rushed, and I wanted to have a bit more description. They weren't even meant to die, JK said herself!

I actually interpreted Tonks's speech at the end of Book 6 as they had professed that they liked one-another, had begun a relationship, and then Lupin had ended it, and this was Tonks saying, "Why did we have to break up?"

So not that they began a relationship at the end of Book 6, but that Lupin decided to carry it on.

Firstly because Teddy would be old enough to take care of himself by the Epilogue but also his grandmother was still alive. As next of kin, she would be his guardian, not Harry.

Does anyone know what was Teddy like?..Was he a werewolf like that of Bill?

I felt that Tonks and Lupin were great together by the end of the 6th book. They were holding hands and such, and then we learn that they had a quiet marrige!?

I was a bit upset cause we didn't get the whole story, and then she's pregnant?! Way to fast for me, but I like them together.

Then they die.

It just feels a little messed up.

I think it seemed kind of rushed. In one book, they got married, had a baby, and died. I think that even though their relationship started at the end of book six, they needed more time. The end of book six was only a month or two before the beginning of book seven

maybe it was shocking...but i'm not that sure about "rushed". i think they were made for each other and if they thought that way also then what's the problem??
i did predict their death though right after they made harry teddy's godfather. it's almost as if picking a godfather "just in case" is a jinx! it took me a while to realize that they were actually dead and it shocked me even more to see his ghost. i'm not really sure what i was thinking...

I think that Lupin's excitement was kind of meant to signify that his son hadn't been born wolf-like.

Well, in a sense it had to be rushed because we had to realize that they had an undying love for eachother so when they died we felt more emotions from that scene.

I did find it a bit of a shock in Book6. But then again JK Rowling doesn't really focus on them, so I could believe that there have been something between them for some time, it just doesn't come up so much in the book.

well I think that they already had a relationship in book 6 even before the end, but Lupin was just worried about it and broke it off, so maybe the baby was rushed but marriage-no

Remus and Tonk's marriage was rushed and unexpected and the fact they had a baby was even more of a rush. I really did not expect Remus to marry Tonks as he did not think he was able to provide for a wife etc. But I think it was a one sided relationship in that only Tonks was in love with Remus and Remus did not really love Tonks. Their death was even more of unexpected and JKR did not really go into how they died.

I wish they didn't die I cried when they did.

Being an auror, I don't think Tonks would need providing for. She's her own woman.

i got this from an online chat ( MuggleNet | The ULTIMATE Harry Potter Site - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, JK Rowling, rumors, news, forums, images, video, and more! )

Casey Kunze: Who killed remus and tonks I think if I knew this, I would get some closure over the very sad, but understandable, death of two of my favorite characters

J.K. Rowling: I’m so sorry! I met a couple on launch night who had come dressed as Lupin and Tonks, and I felt dreadfully guilty as I signed their books!

J.K. Rowling: Remus was killed by Dolohov and Tonks by Bellatrix.

I do agree that it was rushed. And then they died. All that in one book...wow.

I'm just looking forwards to the Encyclopeadia. And Tonks and Lupin dying REALLY made me angry. I couldn't believe they got such a small mention. It's like saying "They got married had a baby and died". I don't mean that's how their relationship was, but that was an example of how rushed their death was. Wasn't it "Hermione and Ginny moved out the way, so that Harry could see the bodies next to Fred. Lupin and Tonks, calm and peaceful looking, apparently asleep under the enchanted ceiling". Very tragic and romantic - but not enough description. I hope we hear more in the encyclopaedia.

^ Well she has said Dolohov killed Lupin and Bellatrix knocked off Tonks.

I know....*Does some mental ressurection and AKing*. I asked loads of questions about their deaths in the webchat, because I have been in TOTAL denial. I wanted Bellatrix to kill them both together....well, I didn't really want them to die at all, but y'know what I mean...
