Well, I also don't buy ESE! Lupin (Sorry, Pippin!) But I also have to 
admit that Lupin's deathgrip on Harry bothers me. The reason I find 
this scene to be suspicious is that Lupin was waaay too calm for 
someone who just lost his oldest friend.

Let's say that Sirius is not really dead. (Indulge me for a 
second. :o)) Suppose Lupin was involved from the beginning in 
planning of Sirius' dissappearance for some unknown reasons. Yeah 
that's it. :) (I can dream, can I?)

If Sirius is really and sincerely dead though, then Lupin reaction 
bothers me.


I think that if Sirius was still officially alive, I would have 
probably bought Pippin's brilliantly argued theory. But right now I 
do not believe that JKR would make the last of the Marauders, whom 
she admitted being one of her favourite characters to be evil. Yes, 
it is metathinking, but so what? :o)

I also don't believe that Peter would ever be redeemed. I just don't 
think that it is possible, since the parents oft he main character 
are dead because of him and frankly if it ever happens, it will leave 
a very bitter taste in my mouth. I just find his character disgusting.
