I don't think that Lupin is more flawed than Sirius or Snape. On the 
contrary, to me he is so far significantly less flawed and this is 
going back to ... boring character. 

You know what I am hoping for? I am really hoping for than in those 
twelve years before Remus came to teach at Hogwarts, he did something 
really exciting or something really in the grey area as far as morals 
are concerned.

No matter how much I love Pippin's theory, I don't believe that 
Rowling will ever make Remus a "black" character, but I certainly 
hope that she will add more "greyness" to him.
