We're still not over the loss of Remus too. He had so many important connections: Harry, Ron, and Hermoine's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Best friend of Harry's parents, James and Lily. A member of the Order of the Phoenix. And it was too much when his wife, Nymphadora Tonks, was killed by Bellatrix Lestrange right before Remus was killed by Antonin Dolohov during the battle...leaving their son, Teddy, an orphan. It's so fitting that Harry was named his godfather—he does know what it's like to live without your parents. Sigh. RIP, Remus!
