Lupin's resentment/getting anything right

[JMB]

No: HPFGUIDX 94020

Well, now that I've read up on the FAQ and that Humongous Bigfile, I feel 
somewhat confident that my first post here won't violate any rules.  :)

Before I get to my reply, I'd just like to make a quick mention that this is 
literally my first day on this list.  My friend Melissa kept harping on me to 
check out the books, which I (like so many others, I'd imagine) dismissed as 
mere 'children stories.'  I finally caved in and have not regretted a moment of 
it.

I'd also like to say that from reading what I could of the archives and today's 
60+ posts alone, I think I'm going to like this group.  :)  It looks like you 
have a lot of good people here.  Please forgive me if I mess up at any point 
during my likely infrequent posts.  ^^;

As someone else has mentioned, I imagine he volunteered to do it because he 
could keep his temper better than Sirius could, especially after the 
confrontations those two had already had.

I thought that odd myself, and kept waiting for some kind of mention of Lupin 
and Snape's talk. I wonder if it will be brought up in the next volume or simply 
dismissed; I have to believe the former, considering JKR has taken things that 
at first appeared to be ignored but picked it up in later books.

Possibly.  Myself, I gave up trying to guess what happens around the end of the 
second book.  I was tired of being wrong all the time.  :)

(Although admittedly I did guess a few minor plots correctly in the fourth and 
fifth books, but that's the best I can do.  :)
