As someone keen to  flaunt the FEATHERBOA, eager for blood, guts
and slimy ichor to ooze from Lovecraftian phrases culled from the
vile Necronomicon  (TM Abdul Al-Hazred), seeping through the eldritch
unearthly, unhuman, blasphemous shapes of non-Euclidean geometry
that hauntingly rise from the deeps....er, where was I?

Oh, yes.Lupin.
A combination of Compassionate!Lupin and Killer!Lupin can be 
constructed.

All you  need do is postulate ESE!Sirius.
Lupin, caring dreadfully for Harry (Ahh!) finds out that Sirius is
up to no good (Boo!) So he eliminates Maddog!Sirius at the Ministry
to protect Harry from danger/contamination. (Cheers!)

Naturally, being  such a fine, sensitive  fellow, he suffers the
pain of anguish and remorse. Voila! Compassionatekiller!Lupin!

Not the first time I've offered this theory, and it probably won't be 
the last -  at least until JKR knocks it on the head. The fun thing is 
that there is so little evidence for or against. It  all depends on the
attitude of the poster, Lupin's actions at the Ministry during the
fight being a total mystery. And frankly, anyone locked up in 
Grimmauld Place with a whining, moaning Sirius for weeks on end 
deserves the chance to zap  him.
