have to do would act incredibly horrified and guilty.

Me again:
Even so, there were several people in that room, and the other battles were 
finished or winding down.  Sirius and Bellatrix were in a very prominent 
spot.  There would have been much easier and much safer ways to get rid of 
Sirius, since the other people in the room could change where they were 
looking as quickly as Lupin could.

And who was with Malfoy all the time?  Lupin?  I missed the part where they 
were with eachother all the time.  And what reason could Lucius have for 
wanting Sirius dead?  Just out of disgust for a blood-traitor?  And if Lupin 
wanted Sirius dead, he could have handed him over to the dementors in POA.
