He's one of my favorite characters and perhaps I expected too much of 
him. I was profoundly disappointed with him as a prefect during the 
bullying episode. I might have got past that given his age at the 
time, but he was given the job because he was thought more 
responsible than Sneerius and Snotter responsible--in fact Sirius 
even mentions near the beginning of the book that Lupin "got the 
badge" in the hopes he'd be able to reign in his buddies. *What a 
STELLAR job we witnessed!* 
I was disappointed with his adult reaction to the same event when 
Harry confronted them. Admittedly it was better than Sneerius' but 
then I've never been a fan of SB. THEN he said that he would go talk 
to Snape about continuing Occlumency lessons. One would hope he'd 
have attempted some feather smoothing however there is no evidence 
that he ever followed through with that chat.

Melpomene--hoping Remus can redeem himself without kicking it.
