I assume your subject is on purpose...Trelawny really bugs you?
Goes with all the bug like descriptions about her in PoA.

Her crystal ball is referred to as an orb. And for most of PoA,
Lupin's boggart is called an orb. He ran from Trelawney when she
wanted to crystal gaze for him...

So how about this idea? Lupin's Boggart is a prophecy orb (I don't
know why! Maybe he's afraid of Trelawney. Maybe there's a prediction
about him that worries him. Maybe someone predicted he'd marry
Trelawny) To make the orb amusing, he turns it into a cockroach.
That is, he turns the prophecy orb into a bug, into Trelawney.
Because he thinks it's funny that she looks like a bug.

Lupin wants to squash Trelawny like a bug, huh? :) 
I think Lupin may be hiding something, and he's afraid that Trelawny 
may see it. Not so much that he is ESE LUPIN!, but more like 'I may 
have killed a friend or Order member while I was a werewolf' kind of 
thing. Wasn't there someone in Moody's picture who all they found of 
him was pieces? Was he killed by a DE, or by Lupin? I don't know why 
I feel like Lupin feels guilty about something. And what are the 
chances that he's never killed? Just how many full moons are there in 
a year? Where was he on the night of GH?
