Just a comment about Lupin's malady.

HunterGreen:
That just doesn't sit well with me. I can't see James and Sirius
suddenly turning on Lupin based only on his condition which had never
been an issue before. I especially can't see Lily doing that (I
imagine she would be warmer to Lupin than she would to Peter, since
Lupin was the least supportive of the behavior in the pensieve
flashback that she was very much against). There had to be something
*more* than just the werewolfness. Personally, I think it was ESE!
Lupin acting a little odd, something that Sirius (and perhaps James
and Lily as well), picked up on. Or, as it was suggested upthread,
Sirius and Lupin had a splintered relationship following the prank so
Sirius naturally suggested Peter over him (and we don't know *for
sure* that Lily and James took Sirius' suggestion...).

vmonte responds:

I agree with you comments above HunterGreen. I wonder where Lupin was 
during the Godric's Hollow attack? I'm not convinced of the ESE Lupin 
theory, but something major must have happened to make Sirius 
distrustful of Lupin. I wonder if the reason they were suspicious was 
because Lupin disappeared a few days before the attack? Did James and 
Sirius find the remains of someone that looked they were killed by a 
werewolf attack? 

I keep wondering if Lupin is hiding something from the Order? Did he 
wake up during the week of the GH events with blood on his face and 
hands?  Does/did he think that he killed James? (Didn't the movie say 
something about a werewolf will not recognize and/or will kill his 
best friend?) What if Lupin was framed to believe that he had a hand 
in James death? His comments to Harry during PoA: "You heard James?" 
would then mean: 'How could that be?' 'He was dead already?'    

He may have run away in fear of what he had done. 

None of this is based on canon. Just wondering...
