***Second, the identity of aurors isn't a big secret.  Mr. Longbottom 
was a popular auror, and Moody was well-known, too.  If James was an 
auror, that means it was probably well-known information.***
 
I do think James will be revealed as an Auror.  Is there any canon evidence 
as to which branch of the MoM Aurors are from?  Very few people may have 
actually known that James was an Auror.  Moody being an Auror would be 
obvious due to the fact that he makes waves in whatever he does.  Jumpy sort 
of guy.  People may have found out that Frank Longbottom was an Auror due to 
what happened to him.  James was pretty young when he died, so he didn't 
necessarily have to be the best on his job.  And I see Lupin as an Auror 
because of his knowledge of Dark Arts.  I imagine one would have to know 
their DADA pretty well to be an Auror.

***I like a creative theory as much as the next person, but I'm not sure 
canon is entirely consistent with the idea that Lupin was a volunteer 
Azkaban guard or volunteer auror, that James was an auror, or that 
aurors are unpaid.***

Yes, I did speculate, but due to the fact that Jo Rowling hasn't answered a 
lot of our questions, I had too.  I was speculating why Remus Lupin looks so 
ill all of the time.  I did not think that it was all because of his 
transformation, I felt it was something deeper than that.  Dealing with 
Dementors would certainly do that.  Yes, he says that he doesn't pretend to 
be an expert.  He is modest that way!  ;)
