Renee, you and Nora are both absolutely hilarious. "Has succeeded in 
remaining undetected..." :o)

I think I want to start the campaign "Lupin for the Headmaster", if 
he is alive at the end. :).

Seriously though, I consider "ESE!Lupin" to be the strongest of all 
subversive theories (Sorry, Pippin, but I do consider it to be 
subversive reading), BUT I do think that it is possible that serious 
blow will be given to it  in book 6,when we discover that Lupin is 
HBP. There must be a reason why JKR stressed that he is half-blood, 
right? :)
