oh, *hugs*. I'll say I was surprised that they died off-screen and were just kind of there... but by that point I didn't know what was up with Remus anyway so it didn't hit me very hard. This one and HBP have felt like the Remus-Tonks thing was part of a bigger subplot that then got hacked to death in editing, so we had these weird remnants that didn't fit together anymore. But yeah, they deserved better. That's another one where I'd love to see her notes and try to understand what was supposed to happen. (except to end with poor wee orphan Teddy, that part I get, but I hope there's more to it).
That totally makes sense about Molly -- although she was always a witch, she certainly never showed any dueling/fighting/advanced magical skill. Not to the level of being able to take Bellatrix, certainly. Thank goodness it was Molly, and not Ginny, who dueled Bella though (and I think Ginny's okay, I just hate to think of fandom's reaction).
