believe that Lupin is holding a very big secret)-it was one thing 
 not to reveal himself by PoA, but by OotP, why hasn't he told 
Sirius  or DD.  Why hasn't DD read his mind?  There is some 
suggestion in  the books that Lupin is a Legiwhatsy but there is 
no suggestion that  he is a Occlumens.<

Pippin quotes:

'An odd, closed expression appeared on Lupin's face." --PoA ch 
14 

(note the wordplay between "odd,closed" and "occlumens")

"All this year, I have been battling with myself, wondering whether 
I should tell Dumbledore that Sirius was an Animagus."--PoA ch 
18

If Lupin couldn't block his thoughts, wouldn't Dumbledore have 
discovered his secrets? 
 

Plus there's a huge hint that legi-thingy doesn't work on 
werewoves:

"Don't ask me to fathom the way a werewolf's mind works," 
hissed Snape.

--PoA ch 19

who agrees 100% that Lupin is holding a very big secret,  and 
thinks JKR owes Galadriel Waters a huge debt of gratitude for 
throwing the 'Lupin is James' red herring into the bay.
