I guess they assume that because Tonks was confiding in Molly, about her relationship problems with Remus, she couldn't/didn't want to confide in her mother.
It really doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Tonks trusted her mother enough leave Teddy with her, the night of the final battle. I'm guessing she & Remus named Andromeda his guardian.
