Speaking of Lupin, I've been pondering Lupin's future role.  He played the role of comforter a good bit in OOP (several times to Molly).  Someone's going to need to comfort Harry in the future (whether he wants it or not, he needs it).  I've always thought of Molly as the comforting one (it's certainly her tendancy), but I'm not sure if Harry will feel comfortable with that now after hearing her argue with Sirius so much.  I think he'll get over it, sure, but may keep that in mind a while.  Perhaps Lupin will take over that role?  Since he was friends with both James and Sirius, he'll be Harry's closest connection to both of them.  I wouldn't be surprised if Harry gets closer to Lupin.  New father figure?  Maybe.  Dead in Book 6?  Better not be!
