Potioncat:
Yes, there seems to be something left out.  And the way you asked 
the questions makes me think of the scene in PoA when Lupin and 
Snape have the conversation about the map.  They know what they are 
really saying but we don't. And some of us needed a guide to lead us 
through that conversation even after reading the book several times.

But I do get the feeling when Harry is talking to Black and Lupin 
about his father, that Lupin is looking to Serius either for 
guidence or to evaluate what he will say.
