Hi everyone, my name is Brenda and this is my first time posting 
anything.. since I just joined 2 days ago.  It seems that there are 
many perceptive and dedicated HP intellects in this group and I'm 
very happy for that, heehee.

Wow.. I NEVER even imagined Lupin being the bad guy, although it did 
intrigue me that Sirius had suspected Lupin to be the spy.  It is odd 
since Peter was obviously the one always tailing after them, and he 
certainly fits the type to do anything for his own protection..  But 
if James/Sirius are the ONLY friends that Lupin has (he never had a 
friend before and it seems doubtful that he made new friends after 
Hogwarts), why would he betray the ONE real friend that he has?  And 
also Dumbledore and Mad-Eye Moody trust him too, as a member of 
Order.. if Lupin was indeed a spy for Voldemort back then, wouldn't 
LV have mentioned his name at the end of Goblet - when he called upon 
his remaining DEs?  I think Dumbledore and Moody's magic eye would 
have caught something if there was anything fishy goin on with Lupin..

I personally thought Lupin sounded more astonished (and perhaps 
nostalgic about his dead friend) than worried..  "'You heard James?' 
said Lupin, in a strange voice." (PoA, 178 - UK)  I guess we'll just 
have to wait and see.  Another thought, Lupin calls LV "Voldemort" 
but Peter calls him "The Dark Lord".. I don't think i have heard any 
DE calling LV "Voldemort" so far.

By the way, why did Lupin hold Harry back when Sirius went into 
the "veil" after Bella's curse?  I used to think that he did so to 
stop Harry from seeing such a horrible sight of Sirius dying (wells I 
asummed it'd be horrible) but maybe for other reasons?  I don't know, 
I like Lupin, it's bad enough that he has led such a hard life, from 
people just judging him for what he is, not WHO he is.. and I will be 
utterly disappointed if Lupin was indeed a bad guy, Rowling said 
herself that her favorite character was Lupin.  So let's keep up with 
our hopes (or rather, MY hope) that we're not losing more people to 
the Dark Side than we already have.
