I loved the idea, it's just that I can never find the time to keep up to date with the postings enough to feel I can answer any of the points on a time scale that most of the rest of you seem to manage.

The idea of Lupin having 'edge' (a potential to be dangerous) was interesting. Lupin (good teacher) and Sirius (Oooooh....) have always been high on my list of favourite characters, but different reasons, and now there is a added dimension to Lupin that adds to his attractiveness.

Back to Neville:
I really can't see Neville turning into Super!Neville (or Harry by another name);
Vengeful,insane!Neville maybe, but hope not; 
wishywashywet!Neville - what's the change, and there must be (mustn't there?)

But Lupin!Neville - yeah, I could really go for that. Rejects vengeance for justice and reason, and become a compassionate, intelligent, popular and powerful teacher (Isn't one of them supposed to become a teacher - though I always thought that was referring to Fleur). Well all those characteristics without the teacher bit is good enough for me too.

The whole Neville back story possibilities are fascinating, as well as the Weasley's cousin thing. 

So the more the better on this, and such things
