Alexandras response to srsiriusblack

Dumbledore did know about Quirrel... paraphrase from Ps/SS  "He went after him didn't he" to Hermione going for help and running into him. Then the kids discuss it and Ron says something about Dumbledore being off his rocker with a big smile on his face. Then one of the kids says something about Dumbledore wanting Harry to go through all of that.  Dumbledore knew Harry was going to need this confrontation as Voldemort is weekened in this state.  A little battle at a time.  Each time it becomes more serious.  I agree with you that Lupin is a "goodguy" and nothing and no one will change that.  He is
labeled a "badguy" by WS standards because he is a werewolf.  He seems sincere in everything he says.  I will never believe he is evil.
