> 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!

That is what I have been thinking. I really hope to see Lupin and 
Harry to become even closer. He is the only one of James' close 
friends left (I certainly DON'T include Peter in this group) *and* he 
has to be hurting nearly as much as Harry. I think he has a great 
gift for kindness and playing the comforter role and all these things 
put him in a great position to really help Harry. I love Lupin and 
would really, really love to see him do something big for the Order 
and really help Harry through some of his pain.
