Oooo, Pippin, if THAT what takes for you to give up the theory, then 
I am sure it will be alive till the end of book 7  :o). You want 
VERY high burden of proof. OF COURSE, it is possible for Lupin to do 
all what you accused him of doing. The maximum we can rebut with is 
to show that ALTERNATE interpretation of canon is more LIKELY to be 
proved correct.

I hope that JKR's imagination will bring her to different end result 
though. :)
