But there are effects on Lupin: "his voice [was] breaking," he spoke 
quietly, his "face was pale," and he "turned away from the archway as 
he spoke.  It sounded as though every word was causing him pain." 
(beginning of ch36)

All of this stands out very clearly to me, as I didn't start crying 
when Sirius falls through; it was so strangly sudden and accidental.  
It is only once I begin to see the effects on Harry and on the last 
Marauder standing... my dear falling apart Remus... that I began to 
fall apart as well.

I know others said this as well, but, damn, there is just no 
way.  :)  JKR has said time and time again that Lupin is one of her 
all-time favorites.  I can't imagine she would place a lying scum-bag 
from the same category as atrocious little man Wormtail in her 
favorites!

     But before he could make a decision about what to do next, a
 second, slightly hoarse voice floated upstairs.
         "It's all right, Harry, We've come to take you away."
