I have to agree.  It would be interesting to find out if DD had approached 
Lupin about the position prior to finding out Sirius had escaped or afterward.  
I don't think we know that detail do we?  It seems it would make perfect sense 
if it was done afterward as Lupin, aside from the points you mentioned, would 
also have a vested interest in Harry as the child of one of his best friends.
