First of all Lupin is one of my favourite characters but I think he 
is too unfair and irresponsible to make a good headmaster. He forgot 
to take his wolfsbane potion. I mean he has suffered from being a 
werewolf for so long and then he just forgets to take it? That shows 
how irresponsible he is imo.
 
And he is unfair and unjust to people he doesn't like or who his 
friends don't like (he is very influenceable too). He was prefect but 
didn't do anything to stop his friends tormenting Snape (and not on 
just one occasion, he admits himself somewhere in OOtP, that 
Dumbledore made him prefect to keep his friends in line, but he 
obviously didn't). Then during POA he didn't stop Harry and his 
friend banging Snape's head against the ceiling of the tunnel. This 
doesn't speak for his character. I think he couldn't be fair enough 
to be a responsible headmaster (even if he is generally a likeable 
person), but on the other hand neither is Dumbledore, so maybe we 
will see him as headmaster. This is all my opinion of course.
