Who won the reprieve in the Deathly Hallows?

[DaphneD]

I was reading an old article guessing about the end of the Harry Potter series, and I found a quotation from Rowling that she spared one character that she had planned to kill, but ended up killing two others that she hadn't intended to. I'm thinking the two she was referring to were Lupin and Tonks, but I'm not sure who it was she reprieved.Thanks, everyone. That makes sense.

The one she reprieved was Mr. Weasley.

She was going to kill Arthur Weasley. I'm not sure who she killed in his place.

In an interview, she said that she could not kill Mr. Weasley because every consistent parental figure had been taken from Harry. She felt that she needed to leave hime someone. She killed Tonks and Lupin in his place because she thought it would be very poignient to have the best friend of his father and mother die with his wife in the same way, leaing a baby behind, just like Harry was left by his parents. Teddy and Harry would be linked forever because Harry could understand, better than anyone, what Teddy would experience growing up an orphan.She granted Mr. Weasley the same reprieve in Order of the Phoenix, when he is attacked in the Ministry of Magid, outside the Department of Mysteries. She decided then that she could not do it, so Harry, instead of wittnessiing his demise, wittnessed the attack by the snake.
