(Agree completely, Paula)

Your comments made these thoughts spring to mind:  Why does Lupin 
just happen to have a satchel-full of chocolate with him? Advance 
warning that dementors might be about on September 1 and might try to 
hijack the Hogwarts Express? 

(Wondering how creatures with no more physical substance than 
vapor, "weightless as dark," "absorbed into the darkness" when 
attacked by a patronus, could stop a speeding locomotive. Seems they 
would get their lips ripped off if they attempted a kiss under those 
circumstances, wouldn't ya think? :D But, I digress. . .) 

Does Lupin have other Dark Arts remedies and potions in that bag as 
well? Does the chocolate taste a bit like garlic, perhaps, having 
shared the same close quarters of his luggage? Is that part of the 
Dark Arts Professorship, to be prepared for dark creature encounters?

(If so, wouldn't that be just too sadly funny, too gut-wrenchingly 
ironic?)
