IMO as far as the Remus/Romulus tale goes, they were raised by a 
wolf.  I think that that is the relevant fact rather than Romulus' 
murder of Remus.  At least that's what I like to tell myself, 
although in most of my theories Lupin lives, which might have 
something to do with the fact that he is my favorite, favorite, 
favorite.  I admit that it worries me that JKR killed Sirius, because 
it sends a message that she can kill at will and no one is safe 
(including her favorite character.)

My strong defense for why she won't kill my boy Lupin is as follows.  
Is she really going to have Wormtail as the only Marauder to survive?
(I know "Marauders" is not really their title, but it does sound 
cool, no?) Even if he (wormtail) dies as well, to have James, Sirius 
AND Remus die (at his master's hand no less, directly or indirectly), 
just doesn't seem right.  It would be something of a victory for such 
a spineless, awful, deceitful character.  Hasn't he done enough 
damage?  All three were supposed to be pretty powerful wizards.  For 
the love of Merlin, give us Lupin as the last one standing.

Which brings me to another related thought, while Harry is destined 
to a final showdown with VD, I believe other characters are also 
bound for important confrontations.  As much as Harry wants a piece 
of Bellatrix, to avenge Sirius' death, I do believe that Neville will 
eventually confront her on some level.  In the same vein, (especially 
now that Sirius is dead) I see a Moony and Wormtail exchange in the 
cards, or tea leaves, or crystal ball
 whatever.

don't think it worked, but if it ends up on here twice, I'm sorry)
