Okay, it amazes me how information on future books keeps popping up.  I've never heard that Lupin would be an integral part of book seven.  All JKR said (from what I've read, which is pretty much everything I can get my hands on) was that we'd see Lupin in Book 5.  She said that in interviews right after GoF was released.  Can you perhaps point me in the direction of an interview in which she said he'd be an integral part of book 7?  Because that's a new one on me.

I still think Hagrid's got a target painted on his back.  Lupin's another possibility (unless I can find an interview where JKR said he'd be in book 6 or 7) since we know he's in Book 5, who knows, he could die in book 5.  A few weeks ago I'd have loved for Dobby to be the one to go, but when I saw TMTMNBN2 I fell in love with Dobby.  Long live Dobby. (Besides, I like the thought that he may have been the Potter's house elf.)
