JKR says that Lupin's great fault is that he wants to be liked so
badly. I suspect he murdered Sirius, not to keep from being
punished as a Death Eater, but because he couldn't bear to lose
Sirius's friendship again. I know that sounds bizarre, but he
wouldn't be the first person to murder their friend, or lover, to
keep from losing them.

vmonte responds:
What? He killed Sirius because he didn't want to lose his friendship?
 

Pippin:
You're not <g> But consider this...does Bane's murderous 
behavior in OOP justify Umbridge's hatred of centaurs generally?
No, because, for one thing, we know there are good centaurs 
like Firenze. All JKR has to do is introduce a genuinely good 
werewolf, and I think she has...Luna Lovegood.


vmonte responds:
Interesting comment about Luna.  Why do you think she is a werewolf?
Do you think her mother died trying to cure her?  I always thought 
that Luna was perhaps a Seer.
