I'm a newcomer to this group, so I apologize if I'm repeating things that have 
already been thoroughly discussed - I'm just getting acclimated. :) I am very 
happy to be here!

In my opinion, Lupin wasn't thinking, he was angry. Angry all over again that 
James and Lily were betrayed, angry that for 12 years he thought Sirius was 
guilty of betraying his friend and committing murder, angry at the discovery 
that Sirius had unjustly spent 12 years in Azkaban when he was innocent. 
Maybe he felt it would be closure for them if they ended Peter in the Shrieking 
Shack.

I don't see that this is the biggest mistake Harry has made in his life. At the 
end of PoA, DD says that the time may come when [Harry] will be very glad 
[he] saved Pettigrew's life. I can't help but think JKR is setting us up for 
something with that! Come on! Perhaps Peter will aid Harry in the final battle 
with LV, finding redemption, or Peter will somehow be involved in helping 
Sirius return (yes, I am in SAD DENIAL :)). Speak of SAD DENIAL, can 
someone please point me towards where/when that thread began or give the 
specifics and latest on the theory? I have searched the archives, but so far, it 
has been in vain. I would really appreciate it as I am very interested in 
thoughts on the future of Sirius.
