Ooh, do we know for a fact that Remus still has that Yorkshire cottage later on? I actually have him moving back to it between PoA and OotP in one fic, but in my head I was thinking of it more as a rental than as a place he owns and can go back to whenever. If he owns it, yeah, I could totally see him going there to transform! Far, far away from his family...
As for where they live, in my head they keep being in their own little flat somewhere, at least at first – I guess it just seems nice for a newly married couple starting their lives together – but I could also believe them living with Andromeda; certainly after they find out for sure that Ted has been killed, though I think that doesn't happen until sometime in the mid/late spring. I wish there were clearer information on when, exactly, Ted had to go on the run – sometime in autumn? And yes, if Andromeda stayed behind specifically so she could help Tonks, then that does imply them living together, or close by. I'll ponder that.
Shoot, even after writing this many stories about Andromeda, I manage to forget that she and Ted were tortured for information. That just kind of gets lost in the flood of all the other horrible things that happen to them, doesn't it?
But yes, very clear that the family was targeted (thanks for the quotes!), and would need to look out for each other. And awww, I love how Remus' use of the word "we" in that second to last one implies that he had a hand in casting those spells to protect Tonks' family. Aw. Looking out for each other indeed.
