Rams(myself):
Also, we do not 'know' that Peter calmly killed Cedric. We only know 
that he was effective. And as for Wormtail shivering while 
performing the ancient magic to bring Voldy back to life, he was 
terrified because he was going to 1. perform a horrible ritual and 
also cut off his own arm 2. bring the terrifying Lord Voldemort back 
to life (or form or whatever). 

And I agree that I don't think Remus Lupin is a traitor either! 
Neither do I think that Lupin was 'taken in' by Sirius and believed 
him to be innocent. He is not dumb!

If you had to choose one teacher from your books to teach your 
child, who would it be and why? 

A. It would be Professor Lupin, because he is kind, clever, and 
gives very interesting lessons. "

I do not think she would want her daughter to be tutored by a 
traitor. Also, JKR is making a point against prejudice in the WW. 
She will be proving the anti-werewolf legion right by making Lupin 
ESE! :)
