i am glad you liked my flawed characters. - i always like to think that remus is drawn to severus passion (i am originally a snupin-lover :P) but ultimately clings too much to his control. snape i thought would have had an entirely different vita if he would have been able to express his feelings adequately. and it was great fun to write tonks and snape - i thought snape dislikes his own weaknesses in tonks and only in the end can acknowledge her courage as well - and so is able to face himself as well.
