In OoP, when Harry breaks into Umbridge's office to talk to Sirius
about what he had seen in the pensieve, Lupin says:
"Harry, there is nothing so important as you learning Occulemency!"
said Lupin sternly. Do you understand me? Nothing!"
When I reread OoP, reading that line made me wonder if, on a
subconscious level, Lupin harbors any resentment toward Harry
because Harry's failure to learn Occulemency ultimately lead to
Sirius' death. Sirius was the last remaining tie to his days at
Hogwarts, which (as we learn in PoA) were the best times of his
life. Losing Sirius must have devastated Lupin.
Sorry if this has already been discussed. If it has, can someone
tell me where I can find it. I did a search, but came up with
nothing.
Thanks, Anna.
