Eventually, Herm or Harry would remember how bad Ron is at fighting 
Imperius, and realize that is what's going on.  All the factors in 
this theory are things we've already been introduced to...  Thoughts

but you have a very good point.  And it strikes me that if this were 
the case, we maybe getting set up for it through Sirius and Remus 
each apparently being willing to believe the other was the spy who 
betrayed James and Lily.  Presumably there were "reasons" each could 
think of for the other to go bad too.  But, they were also willing to 
believe the truth when confronted with it because they knew each 
other so well.  I think this is probably the most convincing

Oh, I am so with you there, Kathy.  And, you know, I didn't even 
consider the Remus/Sirius angle.  Even more convincing that this 
might happen.  Well, we can hope it turns out well; look how loved 
Sirius is now, at least among the trio and the fans...
