Alla:

If Lupin is not ESE!, then there is no place for development of his 
character? Why?

How about him trying to overcome some of his character flaws and 
working on that detachment of his? 

I disagree. I think there is plenty of possibilities to develop Lupin 
( in the limits of him being a supporting character of course).
