So what is Lupin's fear? Is it his true identity or is it the 
future? I'm not really sure. Could it not be both? If you are a 
believer in the James/Lupin switch, would not James be afraid of the 
prophecy orb (Harry's ?) and of revealing his true indentity? 

Berit replies:

Sometimes I think the simplest, most straightforward explanation is 
the better one :-) In this case, I don't think Lupin's boggart was a 
crystal ball. I think it was the moon just as he says himself and 
just as Hermione correctly deduced. Why did Lupin flee when Trelawney 
offered to crystal-gaze him? Well, what is the simple and most 
obvious explanation to that, based on canon? Anyone in their right 
mind would flee if Sybil offered to foresee their future :-)) I 
would. And so would Harry, if he could...
