Did Hermione actually see it? She's usually on top of those sorts of things.
2.) This was pointed out in a locked post, so I can't link to it, but I read a really, really pissed off rant about the sudden Tonks/Lupin love match. The poster was irate that such a blatant sign that said "Remus Lupin is a heterosexual" needed to be put in the book, especially given all of the subversive evidence to the contrary in other books.
3.) The Snape theory in Mircalla's journal above is being fleshed out in the comments. There's an interesting observation that if Harry is an inadvertent Horcrux, Ginny may also be one from events in CoS, which may bring a new definition to the word "soulmate."

If Harry was (note use of past tense here) a horcrux, and I believe he was, then the portion of Voldemort's soul that was in Harry was (i) placed there inadvertantly; (ii) has been used already; and (iii) explains why Vlodemort had to use Harry's blood to restore himself in Goblet of Fire.
As for Snape, I think he knew at the time he made the unbreakable vow that he would wind up killing Dumbledore. I also tend to think that Dumbledore knew he would be killed retreiving one of the Horcuxes.
I still haven't figured out Snape. Part of me is sure he is aligned with the Order because he believes he is superior to Voldemort. Another part of me thinks that those who believe that Dumbeldore was pleading with Snape to kill him to save the soul of Draco are right and that Snape is as dedicated to a higher purpose as Dumbledore.
Finally, three last thoughts:
1. Isn't it interesting that of the four Black siblings, many now think that the males, Regulus and Sirius were aligned with good and the female siblings, Narcissa and Bella, are aligned with evil?
2. I would be willing to bet that in order to kill Voldemort, Harry and Draco will be forced to become allies.
3. Hank is insisting that Snape is a good guy because he identifies so strongly with him.
