I think at this point that Potter-universe history from Moaning Myrtle's death
to Voldemort's (first) downfall is still pretty murky.  When I re-read what
Lupin says about his admission into Hogwarts, it really sounds (to me, anyway)
that Lupin was at least 11, and perhaps even an adult, when Dumbledore became
headmaster.  (Wizards seem to age slower than Muggles).  So I think Lupin
may have written _Heart_ *before* he went to Hogwarts, and was there
as an adult student when it was published.
