I found myself pondering this as I was writing! I think I finally settled that, in my version of things, she gets a Remus, too. Sort of like how I like to think that Lily can hang out with Snape and James at the same time. Like . . . in the instance of being torn between people you love, maybe the parts of their souls that were the most attached to each person kind of split apart to be with them? Heavenly Horcruxes! Hells yes! And . . . okay, this is why I shouldn't be allowed to think about anything for too long. Damn it, it's heaven. Anything goes. That's my final answer.
Now can you please explain to me why JKR found it necessary to kill Remus? Or, actually, were you okay with that?
I was actually totally fine with Remus, because honestly, I never thought he'd survive the series, and there was such a poignant rightness to having him there in the forest with Sirius, Lily, and James at the end. I did think that the manner in which she handled his death was sort of strange -- it seemed like it ought to have been more significant, and not quite so entwined with Tonks's fate. I think they were each important enough to deserve their own resolutions.
But, eh, whatever. He's young and pretty in the afterlife with Sirius. I'm good. ;-)
