I wrote a similar response some three hours ago, but it mysteriously disappeared :-). Basically, I wrote the same thing - Lupin could Apparate to the gate or to Hogsmeade, or he could use the Floo network to get to Hogsmeade and walk up to the school. Then I thought that maybe there were many Dementors guarding the gate, and Lupin felt too weak to meet them alone. 

But then I remembered that Lupin left Hogwarts at the end of the book also on a carriage, even though Dementors were already removed from the gates. Why didn't he Apparate then? Maybe Lupin was too weak to Apparate, because Apparition seems to be rather challenging physically. OTOH, he Apparated all right in DH, so once more I don't know what to think :-).


zanooda, pretty sure that the Hogwarts Express ride is free ...
