I love Lupin and don't see him as ESE. Still, I was very
disturbed by the fact that everyone was looking for this known
murderer yet Lupin kept important information about a possible way to
capture him quiet. Lupin knew, like the rest, that Black would
probably try to find Harry and still he never gave Dumbledore, or
anyone, the information that Black was an animagis (sp?). Why? What
could be served by keeping that bit of information a secret. Why put
Harry at more risk than he had to? What better way to prove to the
others that he, a werewolf, was to be trusted? Instead he kept his
knowledge to himself putting, not only Harry, but every other
student at risk.

Casey, stopping before she confinces herself that ESE!Lupin theory
is correct.
