Vesper:
I can tell you why his name wasn't mentioned at this moment:it's for 
the PLOT!
At this moment,when Harry hears this conversation,the big revelation 
is that Sirius Black was his father's best friend.Then LATER in the 
book,the second revelation is that Remus was also James' friend.If 
Remus' name was mentioned in the conversation at the three 
broomsticks,it would kind of ruin the story and we would immediately 
know that something is going on with Remus,why Snape hates 
him,etc...Everything cannot be revealed all at once.We have to wait 
the end of the book to learn that Remus and Sirius were also (very) 
close friends (cos til then Remus never tells that he was Sirius 
friend,he just admits that he knew him (or thought he knew him)).

Vesper,who'll never believe in ESE!Lupin
(do you really think JKR would make one of her fav character turn 
into a cold blooded murderer?)
