Also, remember he choose Halloween night to try to get into the castle.  He
knew everyone would be at the Halloween feast.  His perfect opportunity to
get in, get the rat and get out with the minimum number of people around.
He doesn't know when he'll have this type of opportunity again.  Fat-Lady
won't let him in...he reacts..possible a bit more violently that the average
Joe, but I'll add my thoughts on why he had such a violent reaction in that
circumstance later.

No...Fiennes would make a good Lupin, but he's not rugged enough for Sirius.
I'm still waging my campaign for Daniel Day Lewis as Sirius (see "The Last
of the Mohican's" for that PoA look)
