While Lupin isn't exactly comfortable around Dementors he can function around them, though many qualified wizards have trouble with the Patronus charm, he seems to be able to perform it well enough to driveaway a Dementor, and he teaches it to Harry (and Harry passes on the knowledge to the DA group -- I think this is a fairly important clue.) As well (this is just a hunch again) it seems like Lupin knows moreabout them in PoA than he wants! to let on. He's a Member of the Order and currently unemployed, which means he has time to research a way of getting the Dementors out of the way. He has the kind of personality that seems to go well with Research and Development, too. ..."

Paula:  Hello Alshain, this is a really good point.  I had failed to consider Lupin's ability to function around the Dementors.  When one considers it, a guy who suffers from the curse of being a vampire wouldn't have much to fear, would he?  In addition, Lupin's teaching Harry the Petronus charm and Harry passing the knowledge on is so much in keeping with the spirit of co-operation that characterises the Good Guys in the series.  But, the stigma and trauma of being a vampire would force Lupin into a life of relative solitude, ie Research and Development.  However, he could still use this forced solitude to help a good cause, getting those nasty Dementors under control.  I love it!
