Hmm...I believe the book states that Sirius is left alone quite a bit. That 
would lead me to believe that Lupin wasn't living there, but off doing 
Order business.

Haven't been many of them to stay with for the last fifteen years. One 
dead, one assumed dead (but living as a rat) and one in Azkahban (I don't 
care how desperate I am...I wouldn't want to spend the night with 
dementors)...so he's been without his core group of friends for a LONG 
time. Then once Sirius got out of prison, he was on the run for over a year 
before setting up camp at Grim Old Place. We have cannon evidence that 
Sirius and James spent a lot of holidays together, but they didn't mention 
Lupin. I wonder if Lupin spends much time with his folks? I don't think he 
would want to burden them, so I doubt he would want to live with them.

Very likely...as I've stated before, I picture him as sort of a David 
Banner (the Incredible Hulk TV series), except with a better outlook on his 
life...and not as good about getting new threads after a transformation.
