I thought his accent was a bit Sarf Laaandon for someone from an 
aristocratic family, but I think he did some interesting thing with 
rolled 'r's (especially saying "Your rat!"). Perhaps he was going for a 
former poshboy-trying-to-be-street thing. I rather liked it.

Lupin's accent was interesting - I was looking out for how northern he 
was going to be, and it came out exaclty like a Lancastrian trying to 
sound refined. I just hope it isn't contradicted in canon later on.
