Whooo!
 Nice one!

Been trying to think of some counter-arguments, and it's getting more 
and more difficult.

Not only does Lupin call Voldemort by his name; he calls him 'Lord' 
as well.

Teaching Harry Patronus; this is extremely advanced magic that Harry 
shouldn't be able to manage. Is he trying to see how strong Harry is? 
Or is he trying to ruin his confidence by giving him something too 
difficult?

About James: 'We were friends *at Hogwarts*.' [my emphasis] (PoA UK 
Hardback p. 179)
Harry doesn't notice Lupin in his parent's wedding pictures.

Out of James's three friends; one is a wolf, one is a rat, one is a 
dog. Only the dog is a symbol of loyalty. A rat is an obvious symbol 
of betrayal; a wolf is a symbol of danger (British mythology) (as 
in 'throw to the wolves').

All the DADA teachers would then be in disguise or faking; they would 
all be evil at heart.

Snape: Lupin loses *no* opportunity to reduce Snape's standing in 
Harry's eyes (apart from admitting to Snape's ability with potions, 
which is undeniable). It is Lupin who says Snape was jealous of 
James's ability on the Quiddich pitch, Lupin who says Snape outed him 
because of the loss of the Order of Merlin.

(Snape's suspicions about DADA teachers have otherwise been spot on. 
He knew about Quirrel, regarded Lockhart with contempt and was very 
wary of Moody.)

Lupin is *extremely* calm about Dark Creatures. Oh, and his comments 
about Dementors are very interesting; (PoA, UK hardback p. 140)

"If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you 
to something like itself - souless and evil."

and then a page later:

"I don't pretend to be an expert at fighting Dementors, Harry - quite 
the contrary..."

Like Moody he confiscates the Marauders Map. This is the only counter-
argument atm, because surely he should know that it reveals true 
names. Or has he warned Moody to grab the map off Harry as soon as 
possible?

All the DADA teachers would then be disguised evil doers.
