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."


vmonte responds:
" 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."


DuffyPoo:
Perhaps it is simply, as someone posted recently, that the Order was being picked off one by one (Marlene McKinnon killed two weeks after the 'picture' was taken, Benji Fenwick, Edgar Bones, they got him and his family, too, Caradoc Dearborn, vanished six months after the picture was taken, Gideon and Fabian Prewett, Dorcas Meadowes killed by LV himself), and, as DD suspected there was 'still' a spy, everyone was suspicious of everyone else.  Lupin, and the others, had a reason to suspect Sirius - his brother Regulus was a DE at that time.  Regulus and Sirius may not have been friends, but Regulus' connection to LV could be enough to raise suspicion. Lupin, casting suspicion on Sirius because of Regulus is enough for Sirius to suspect Lupin...Lupin is trying to cover his own furry backside, by casting suspicion on Sirius.
