Now me:
My favorite part of the interview is this:
>>Now the future - Lupin comes back in Book Five

You see Lupin in Book Five. Do you like him? (Lizo: Yes, he's one of 
my favourites.) And me. I always looked forward to writing Book Three 
because of Professor Lupin. I love him. Yes you see a lot of old 
characters in Book Five. Yes. I'm not even going to tell you what 
happens in Book Five! I'm just recovering from the stress of Book 
Four!! <<

Lupin! Lupin! Lupin comes back! <doing the happy dance> Well of 
course he does, he's part of "the old crowd" that Dumbledore wanted 
to assemble at the end of GoF. I'm just happy to see it confirmed 
(though I'm sure everyone else here knew it before I did, I'm always 
a tad behind on these things, not to mention that I only really "got 
into" HP about 4 months ago).
