Olivier
And if I might add, in chapter 8 PoA, Harry thinks  "for a moment of telling Lupin about the 
dog he'd seen in Magnolia Crescent but decided not to. He didn't want Lupin to think he 
was a coward, especially since Lupin already seemed to think he couldn't cope with a 
boggart."

And then, the punch line "Something of Harry's thoughts seemed to have shown on his 
face, because Lupin said, "Anything worrying you, Harry?""

There are other evidence in OoP. 

Note that if one admits that Lupin is a Legilimens, one can surmise that Lupin knows 
Sirius' first aim is not to kill Harry since the dog did not attack Harry. 

Olivier, quite impressed that Pippin actually wrote a post about Lupin without an 
indictment, seems now and then even she and I can agree about Remus
