Alla:

LOL! Even though I am always ready to argue with Pippin, I also 
always say that her ESE!Luppin is very well argued and for a while I 
was even ready to believe it, even now deep in my mind the shadow of 
the doubt is lurking. :o)

Now, I don't have anything NEW to say on the alternate explanations 
or alternate speculations, I guess, because I think I already read 
them earlier, so if anybody wants to take credit for them, by all 
means.

I do not believe that Dumbledore was planning to kill Sirius, but it 
is quite possible to me that Dumbledore decided to take Sirius out 
of the game for a while (I think actually it was discussed rather 
recently on the list), so the second jet of light could have been 
stunning curse or  some other curse knocking you unconscious.

In that scenario I am willing to assume that Lupin threw that curse 
(not being ESE!, mind you :o))

Now, Angie was saying that Lupinh never says to Harry that Sirius is 
dead in MOM, that he just started to saying the first letter "d", 
true and prior to that Lupin is saying "There is nothing you can do, 
Harry... nothing.... He is gone" - OOP, p.806, paperback.

Of course, we can read "gone" as gone to the other side, but we can 
also read it at face  value as "gone" somewhere, we don't know yet.


Why would Dumbledore want to hide Sirius somewhere? For several 
reasons:

he could have wanted to keep him safe. Now, I am sure Sirius would 
ahve lodly protested against not being allowed to fight, so maybe 
Dumbledore gave him some kind of secret mission, we are not privy to 
yet.

I know, I know it is quite outlandish, but here are my thouights for 
now.
