Potioncat:
I don't remember, and this seems to be very clear to those who are 
posting.  Are you talking about how Harry addresses Remus or how he 
thinks about him?  What does he call him when they speak?  And, 
wouldn't it be up to Lupin to say, "Call me Remus."?

I know he's always corrected if he refers to "Snape." but does he 
ever refer to other adults with just last name in front of an 
adult?  (For example, the trio often refer to Dumbledore, but there 
isn't anyone to correct them.)

Potioncat who remembers when children and young adults always used 
sir and ma'am when speaking to an adult.
