Eloise touched on something I've been wondering about since I first read the passage:

************
I think it's simply a way of a) introducing him, at the same time raising 
questions about his appearance and his reliability ( the Sneakoscope)
************

I've been lurking for a while and wondering why nobody had brought up the Sneakoscope when referring to this scene.  Maybe I'm just too new, so sorry if this has been talked out already.  (Newbie trying to be polite)

I'm surprised by the number of people on these lists who are Lupin "fans", because the Sneakoscope episode made me suspicious of him the first time I read PoA. After re-reading the chapter, it seems Lupin would the most logical "sneak".  I know there is a question of the Sneakoscope's reliability, but the timing might be foreshadowing.  I just wonder if the Sneakoscope going off was more of a clue of where Lupin's character is headed, since I believe JKR was quoted somewhere saying that Lupin will be in the 5th book.
