A lurking newbie, only second time responding.  With reference to Cindysphinx 
thoughts: 

On cutting characters some slack:  I have to check my book to see, but what 
if Lupin was "away" during the times when Sirius got into the castle as an 
animagus.  He also might not believe that it was Sirius at all.  There were 
some who thought it might be Voldy. 

On Bagman:  I think that he was highly nervous and easily frightened because 
of his indebtedness to those horrible goblins.  The fact that the Weasleys 
were in the top box with him is certainly because that is where all the 
peoplewho were guests of members of the MOM were assembled.  You will recall 
that the Malfoy's were guests (of who, I don't recall) as well as the 
Ambassador from Bulgaria, an honored guest.  I don't believe he'll be found 
to be a DE.  He's also too proud of his former greatness as a quidditch star 
to destroy his rep.  A bit too much ego for my taste, there.
