In the Royal George, Abigail was putting forth the following:
> 
>   Lupin no longer has a function in the books.  Add to that the fact that 
> he's showing up in OotP and I'm afraid it's bye-bye Remus."
> 

And then Pippin put forth:

Anyway, I'm pretty sure JKR said somewhere that Lupin would 
be around through Book 7. Which only makes sense. Your villain 
has to die in the last ditch."

Suddenly, a crash was heard as the window shattered.  Everyone jumped back.

"Isn't it a little early for Hurricane Jo?"

But it wasn't Hurricane Jo.  A giant basilisk stuck its head through the 
window, and fortunately for everyone present, it wore a giant pair of Ray-Ban 
sunglasses around its lethal yellow eyes.

And was dangling Stoned!Harry from its mouth.

The basilisk gave the kid a little shake, and he said "Um....oh, yeah.  She 
wants me to tell you that though she is firmly convinced that Hagrid is the 
one to go in OOP, she wants to back up Abigail's theory by saying that Lupin, 
having lived a horrible life due to lycanthropy and by JKR's interview 
criteria, is perfectly suited to return in Book 7as a ghost."

who would like to say in the traditional newbie fashion that this is her 
first TBay post and to request that she be informed if it was a total 
screw-up.
