This is *very* interesting!  

You know, during Sirius and Molly's argument over whether or not
Harry should be 
let in on Order business, Lupin has his eyes "fixed" on Sirius for an
extended period 
of time.  (US 88-89; UK 84-85)  I always got the impression there
that Lupin was 
trying to *read* Sirius.  When Lupin finishes his  eye-fixing
activities, he comes out 
on Sirius' side of the argument.  Almost as if he saw something in
Sirius that had 
greater weight than his words.  

Ah, pure speculation on my part of course.
