Can I just ask, and maybe this was posted before but I couldn't find 
it, why does everyone seem to think that there will be someone who 
will betray the Order to LV? Is there a cannon reference that I am 
missing? Or did JKR metion it in an interview that I didn't read? Or 
is it just speculation? Also, why is everyone so desperate to make 
Lupin the bad guy/possible traiotr? Has he been anything but loyal to 
Dumbledore and Hogwarts? Has he ever intentionally put someone in 
danger from his werewolfishness? And, aside from a few minor 
infractions when he was a 15-year-old idiot, has he ever 
intentionally acted irresponsibly about his condition in his adult 
life? He kept it a secret for the same reason that Hagrid hid his 
mother's true identity, violent predjudice against anyone with mixed 
blood or, in Lupin's case, lycanthropy. To have Lupin join the fight 
on LV's side with the DE's would have him betray not only Harry, but 
also Dumbledore, the only wizard who showed him any compassion. 
That's a major character change, and IMHO, I don't think it will 
happen.
