Me:

I couldn't agree more. Making Lupin evil would encourage a 
generation of readers to trust noone in life which is a pathetically 
disappointing outlook on life to have. I myself think Lupin would 
make an excellent Headmaster. I mean, I don't think I am the 
only one who has noticed that Dumbledore will die soon 
(definitely in Harry's Lifetime), and have pondered who has that 
Dumbledoresque quality. I mean Dumbledore is simply an 
amazing character. And I love McGonnagal, I really do, but she is 
certainly not a Dumbledore, and niether is Snape. Lupin on the 
othe rhand seems to have that calm passion about him, that 
understanding of others, that genuine  kindness that makes a 
Headmaster great. I definitely do NOT think Lupin is evil.
