Ginger:

Not to put words into your mouth, but that to which you may (or may 
not) be referring could possibly be Lupin's expression of surprise 
that Harry heard James:

PoA US paperback, p.240-1
"I heard my dad," Harry mumbled.
(Harry pretends to tie his shoe)
"You heard James?" said Lupin in a strange voice.
(On to limited discussion about Lupin knowing James.....)

There has been discussion on the list about whether or not Lupin was 
surprised at this.  I believe is spawned the "Lupin is James" theory.

Of course, this may not be what you meant at all, in which case, 
disregard and continue reading.

she wants it-yours free for the shoveling!  ;)
