I tried to post to name a Lupin fan club yesterday, but it didn't 
post, so I'll tack it onto Luke's comment.  Lupin's problem isn't 
that people criticize him or dislike him.  It is that people assume 
he is expendable.

I noticed in the Derby that Lupin was pegged as the character who was 
going to die in OoP.  I find this view highly objectionable, and it 
pains me each time I even hear it.  Lupin is NOT going to die in OoP; 
I have to believe.  The people who are saying it are just, well . . . 
wrong and have no effect of the impact of these statement on true 
Lupin fans.  Lupin will stay with us until Book 7, hopefully the last 
page of Book 7.

So I propose that the Lupin appreciation club be called D.A.T.L.I.G. 
(Desist Arguing That Lupin Is a Gonner).  No dues at all, as we can 
all do for our favorite shabby, destitute werewolf.
