loony:
I merely had the realization that Lupin could not possibly be in CoS, 
where the HBP story originally was.  Even though the story didn't 
work for CoS I can't see JKR breaking her pattern and introducing the 
new DADA teacher a whole book early (and Lupin is so vital to PoA 
that he had to be the DADA teacher there).  So I'm looking for 
characters who could have been in CoS.
