It is made very clear that Tonks doesn’t like being referred to by her first name, yet when they get together he calls her a variation of her first name, Dora. Additionally, it is established that Tonks hair is colourful when she is doing well, it turning a mousy brown when depressed, yet once her and Remus get together, it remains that colour. This is all without mentioning the tremendous age gap.

I seriously think that Remadora was a giant cop out from she who must not be named, she recognised that she accidentally made queer coded characters, killed Sirius, married the other two, making Tonks conform in the process. Made her less gender non conforming, made her get in a heterosexual relationship, one that “fixed” her.

She who must not be named quite literally made a character who is a shape shifter, who has extremely bright coloured hair, who doesn’t like to be called by her feminine first name, who is quite androgynous, and tell me that she is not a queer coded character. Tell me that the character whose condition is a metaphor for HIV and had such homoerotic tension with his best friend that the actor thought he was playing a gay man is not a queer coded character. Tell me that the character who got ran away from home because he felt so unaccepted in his house because he was not a wizard bigot, doesn’t reflect the experience of many queer people. Also I remember that the books also mention him not paying mind to any of the girls. But no apparently the only queer characters in Harry Potter are Dumbledore and Grindelwald.
