Actually, I've been thinking and you are close. That's the bit of 
speech where Lupin goes off talking about how kind Lily was and how she 
was a friend to him at his darkest hour. That bit of speech isn't in 
the book. I remember thinking oh - he knew Lily. Well, of course he 
would have, however, he never specifically has said anything. We know 
that Lily didn't date James until 7th year. Then at that point she'd 
obviously have known him better, but what if it was before Lily dated 
James? So there may be some back story we find about Lupin and Lily 
(and not necessarily some thwarted love theme - although, Lily does 
seem that type of woman that everyman falls at least half in love with) 
which has some bearing on the story. Maybe of how James finally breaks 
through to her? Through Lupin? Maybe this has been touched on over in 
the other list, I don't know.
