Yeah, exactly. I mean even Narcissa's love for her son in a sense saved Harry. Wow.
I thought the kid lived with Andromeda? When Tonks arrives at Hogwarts she mentions the kid will be safe with her, and even seems to imply for a longer period of time in case she (Tonks) and Lupin die. Neville grew up with his grandma, so it's not something we haven't seen in the HP-verse. ^^
Oh I dunno about the killing people in passing. One thing to remember is that the books are from Harry's perspective. If he didn't see it happen, we don't know how/why it happened (unless it's explained). There are only two or three exceptions to this- all scenes which involve the Death Eaters (i.e. Spinner's end) and one other- Harry being dropped off at Privet Drive as a baby. Some of those Harry actually did see via his mind connection to Moldy Voldy. Lots of people were inevitably going to die, so it makes sense that Harry didn't see them all. I think Lupin and Tonks in specific were meant to elicit kind of a hollow shock, which really set him forward on his mission.
I LOVED how Harry kept calling him Tom. That was AWESOMESAUCE.
