<ME-Atropos G.>
Clearly there is a lot we do not know about a lot and the wait will 
be long (could be couple of years until book 6 right?) 

I do not know what the benefit of this switch would be-however, there 
are too many indications, peculiar word choices and irregularities 
for Lupin to simply be an old family friend interested in protecting 
his friend's child and working for the order.  So what is up with 
Lupin?  

As I clearly stated for Random's benefit-not my theory.  Surely, now 
that we are 70% of the way through this Epic-we should be able to 
take some leaps and hazard some guesses- so I leap and see this 
theory as possible-because I have yet to see another speculation 
about what happened at Godric's Hollow which seems right.  Throw them 
at me I love a good mystery.
