Tay:
I've always found the state of Lupin's robes interesting as well.  I 
find it hard to believe that he could not at least afford robes from 
the second-hand shop (that Molly Weasley visits).  I know in POA 
Lupin states that until Dumbledore gave him a chance he had been 
unable to find paid work - so I guess things were so difficult he had 
to ensure he had food and there was no money for anything else?
