Geoff:
"The door of the room burst open in a shower of red sparks and Hrry 
wheeled around as Professor Lupin came hurtling into the room, his 
face bloodless, his wand raised and ready. His eyes flickered over 
Ron, lying on the floor, over Hermione, cowering next to the door, to 
Harry, standing there with his wand covering Black and then to Black 
himself, crumpled and bleeding at Harry's feet.
'Expelliarmus!' Lupin shouted....

...Then Lupin spoke in an odd voice, a voice that /shook with 
suppressed emotion/...."

(POA "Cat, Rat and Dog" p.252 UK edition)

Sounds a bit worked up, doesn't he?

He doesn't exhibit the appearance of "remarkable calm" until soem 
minutes later when Hermione accuses him of trying to get Black into 
the castle, of wanting to kill Harry and being a werewolf. (p.253)
