Kneasy:
Too much thinking for Lupin - unless he's a bloody good actor,
because according to canon he doesn't work it out until *after*
he's disarmed Harry. 

He enters apparently thinking he's rescuing Peter.
"Where is he, Sirius?"

 time passes, Sirius points to Ron and

"But then..." Lupin muttered, staring at Black so intently it seemed 
he was trying to  read his mind "..why hasn't he showed himself 
before now? Unless..." Lupins eyes suddenly widened, as though he 
were seeing something beyond Black, something none of the rest 
could see, "-unless he was the one...unless you switched without 
telling me?"

Seems as if a totally brand spanking new concept has struck him.
Something that had never even crossed his mind before.
