Hello all

In the discussion about Lupin knows that Ron has a rat or not, remember that 
the story arc is a full year, how many convesations between Lupin and the kids 
havent we seen (heard). At any time could Ron have mentioned Scabbers, and 
granted, JKR usually gives such clues away, but maybe this was just the time 
she didnt.
