Lupin's combination of deep wisdom, selfless attitude, deep feeling, 
calm exterior, and excellent methods of bringing out the best in people, 
mark him out to me as Dumbledore's natural sucessor at Hogwarts.

This assumes that DD is going to die in book 6/7, but I think we all 
accept that is inevitable. I also am inclined to think a permanent cure 
for his afliction will be found before then. Maybe Neville can help us here?

What say you?
