You know you should read post 39362, it goes into great length, and 
detail about how Lupin is a DE, it nearly convinced me.
You have done something similar here, taken a seed and grown a 
forest, so to speak.  
We have seen no canon evidence that he is that weak of a wizard 
(compared to the average of his class) nor have we seen anything to 
suggest that intelligence has an effect on a wizard's or witch's 
(cough Hermione cough) level of power.
We might (probably) see another fit of rage in him, but I doubt that 
it will be on the level you suggest.  It is rather normal teenage 
behavior.  There is also the fact that JKR will most likely not 
repeat, for a third(?) time, another traitor plot line; she uses 
things only twice, at most.

On a side note, I'm all for Hermione getting a wake up call.  After 
OotP that girl is going to have a level of arrogance (or belief in 
her own smarts, and being right all the time) that would put Draco 
to shame.  I've learned my lessons in life, I greatly respect strong 
women; she however, is over the line.
