Lupin and Hary are standing side by side, and Harry talks about what 
he hears when the Dementors are around; Lupin then makes some awkward body 
movements (nice touch) and says "the first time I saw you, I recognised you 
.... they're your mother's eyes". Then there's a beat's pause (presumably a 
space for a reaction on Harry's part), and Lupin responds to that *pause* 
(great work on Thewlis's part) with "Yes, oh yes, I knew her". This is 
*meant* to be a revelation, not only to the audience, but to Harry.

[from Valerie]

This one of my favorite Lupin scenes! When Harry mentions hearing his Mom 
screaming, Lupin seems visibly disturbed. As a close past friend of Lily and 
new friend of Harry, he would be upset by this revelation. But then when Lupin 
goes on to talk about Lily in such reverent terms, you do get the impression 
that he was secretly in love with her. James, however, being more the cocky 
type, would've won her over, leaving poor Remus, heart-broken, to suffer in 
silence. 'Course, ever the romantic, I could just be reading into this! :-)
