Dropping the quasi-TBAY format...

This is certainly *possible*, but ESE!Lupin is of the sort of theory 
that's less interpretation than speculation, and thus lives on the 
eventual 'yea' or 'nay'.  What *is* eminently possible is to get some 
sort of character information in book 6 that could drive some strong 
wedges into the theory--even if we don't get a complete resolution 
then.  I'm too lazy to come up with some things off the bat, but I'm 
sure Pippin, who has assiduously reworked the theory every time 
challenges come up, can think of something that would be genuinely 
damaging--without Revealing All.

Momus will be ready and waiting to be arbiter, when the time comes...

-Nora has the nagging suspicion that JKR doesn't find the same things 
screwy and suspicious that we do--and this should be examined...
