Oi, I can't imagine what that must have been like, having to face the rabid 'shippers. :X And I totally agree with you. JKR let the portrayal of Tonks go down the drain so easily, when she had so much freakin' potential, and she gave Tonks so much strength and spunk in OotP then made her lose it over a guy? It just doesn't stick with me, so I totally do not blame you for writing Tonks in OotP instead.
And I agree as well, on Remus and Tonks being friends during OotP because I can't imagine Remus hooking up with someone later that he barely knows either. So he would have started to trust her at some point early on, you know? And like I said, I 'ship both, so I look for possibilities for both as well. Like, yeah even if in my head I imagine Remus and Sirius together, Remus would have started to feel something for Tonks as well because Sirius also kept to himself a lot while at Grimmauld so (in my opinion) Tonks and Remus got to get to know each other as well.
Heh, and you know, the 'argument' that Tonks is to "blame" for sinking the Sirius/Remus 'ship makes me laugh. Sirius is dead. Personally, I'd blame death for sinking that particular 'ship and not Tonks, who had nothing to do with it, but hey. >.>
