" Although Sirius had escaped
BEFORE the beginning of term as Harry heard it on the news at Privet Drive.
Would this have been enough time for DD to find Lupin and persuade him to
come to Hogwarts?  I'm sure that if DD thought Lupin could control his
friends once (by making him prefect) then maybe he thought it would be
beneficial to have him do it again!  Although he (Lupin) wasn't very good at
it  first time around! I think this is whsat happened!  It makes perfect
sense to me!

If this is the case then I wonder who DD would have chosen for the DADA
position if Sirius hadn't escaped!!"


DuffyPoo:

Just adding fuel to the fire...Harry first heard of Black's escape on the Muggle news the morning of his 13th birthday.  That gives DD the whole month of August to find Lupin and hire him.
