I had the same issue with the H/G - the first time the facehugger chest monster came up, I was hoping it was going to be some kind of creepy callback to Voldemort and CoS, but then it just turned out to be a 'romance' too superfluous in origin to give their scene at the end of the book any real emotion impact; plus, I didn't find Ginny very likeable in HBP. I also would have dug having the Remus/Sirius subtext preserved, but I wouldn't have minded the Remus/Tonks relationship if it weren't for the fact that it developed her character in no other way than In Love With Remus. I get that she was supposed to be a red herring, but with all the other odd choices in the plotting of HBP, I would have liked to have seen some of that page time going to other secondary characters if we were only going to see her pine and make inappropriate outbursts.
