Alla:

Love, love, love that idea. I confess that I was kind of ready to buy 
into Pippin's ESE! Lupin after all. Not because I believed it much 
(Pippin argues fantastically, but TO ME it goes against spirit of the 
books), but because I was ready to buy into anything, which makes 
Lupin more interesting, more gray, tortured character .

I abandoned ESE! Lupin ship after seeing the movie. The actor has too 
much pain and too much love in his eyes when he looks at Harry to 
ever turn out to be ESE!, IMO. Metathinking? Yes, so sue me. :o)

Lupin turning to be royalty and being on the center stage in book 6 
is something which I would love to happen. I am hoping that it is not 
going to be Tom Riddle or a new character. Lupin all the way. :o)
