I also believe that Lupin was brought on as
teacher and was on the train as an extra
precaution by Dumbledore to protect Harry.  I
just seems too coincidental that Lupin would
choose this long train ride and just happen to be
in the same compartment as HRH.  Also, all the
kids on the train were affected by the Dementors
but Lupin just happened to have enough chocolate
in his pocket.  I think he was expecting the
Dementors and knew they would have such an
adverse affect on Harry given his background.  In
fact, given that the Dementors were about to give
Harry the kiss later, it may in fact be the
Dementors who Lupin put on the train to guard
against.  No one else reports that the Dementors
wouldn't move along and yet Lupin had to do a
Patronus to get rid of the Dementor for that
compartment.

I have no doubt that Lupin wasn't sleeping the
whole time but rather giving the kids some
privacy as he always seemed to make just the
right noise at just the right time.
