Some sirius hinting... yay puns!

Lissa:

Ah.  An ESE!Lupin-er.  Back!  Back I say!  I will defend my werewolf!  He's NOT evil.  ::pouts::

Ahem.  Anyway.

Brenda: 

I think Lupin wasn absent from the christening (or the wedding) as 
they already suspected him to be the spy. Had a fall-out. If Lupin 
was spying on DEs from DD's order, why on earth would he keep it from 
the Mauraders?!

Lissa:

I don't think there was such a huge fall-out though.  Harry was, what, 15 months when Voldie fell?  (Am I right on that?)  That's a LONG fall-out.  And why am I skeptical of that?  In PoA, Peter asks Sirius and Lupin why Lupin didn't know about the SK switch, and -Lupin has to confirm that Sirius thought he was the spy.-  I don't think that there WAS a huge fall out or blow out.  If there was, Lupin would have no need to confirm, Peter would know that Lupin had been suspected, and frankly, Peter probably would have framed Lupin, not Sirius.  After all, a Dark Creature, already suspected of being the spy... Lupin probably would have gotten Kissed immediately, as opposed to Sirius who "just" got thrown into Azkaban.  I mean, which really would be easier to accomplish?

Brenda:

Assuming that Lupin was once a spy for the Order - why hasn't he 
resumed his old position NOW? We only see Snape giving reports. What 
did Lupin do that made him untrustworthy in Voldy's eyes? AND he gets 
away with it? [no mention of Lupin or likewise from Voldy anywhere, 
no grudges, no plans to kill, nothing]


Lissa:

How do we know he hasn't resumed his old position?  Now, granted, this is all thought and speculation on my part, and not a theory I'm particularly wedded to.  But you hit the key word there- WE haven't heard any reports.  (From anyone, really.)  We have absolutely no clue as to what Lupin's doing, so he could easily have been a spy.

Brenda:

1) JKR simply did not put much thought into Sirius' sexual 
orientation, she just assumed he fancies women.
2) She had heard many Sirius-Remus shippers and wanted to give out 
subtle clues.


Lissa:

But the same argument goes towards OotP.  She'd heard about the R/S shippers by the time she was writing it, and put in subtle clues there too.  I mean, she HAD to have known how some of those things were going to be interpreted by the shippers.  

Gwennie:
Whatever 
the case, I love them, and in my mind, they're together. Until Jo says, 
"Sirius and Remus were never, nor will they ever be, lovers," I'm clinging 
to this ship!

Lissa:

Whoohoo!  Company! :)  Although there are days I wonder if JKR is secretly posting to this list, telling me the plot, and then laughing in my email's face as I insist on arguing with her.  ::sigh::
