Now me:

I find it hard to believe that the voice is anyone other than James, 
primarily because Harry hears his father's voice in the graveyard in 
GoF and it doesn't seem to occur to him that this voice is different 
than the voice he heard when the dementors approached.  I also think 
that if the voice *is* someone other than James, it would have to be 
someone Harry has never met, for otherwise he would presumably 
recognize who the speaker was.

Now me:

It doesn't make Lupin nervous - he uses Voldemort's name all the time 
without any fear or nervousness.

Me again:

Yes - BBC Fall 2000 Interview:

Q: "Now the future - Lupin comes back in Book Five..."

JKR:  "You see Lupin in Book Five. Do you like him? (Lizo: Yes, he's 
one of my favourites.) And me. I always looked forward to writing 
Book Three because of Professor Lupin. I love him. Yes you see a lot 
of old characters in Book Five. Yes."
