OK, I most certainly need clarification at this point, because I am 
very interested.

See, for the longest time I found Pippin's theory to be VERY 
believable. I abandoned that ship at some point after movie came 
out, BUT it is so well argued that it does keep me on my toes and 
makes me nervous sometimes. :o)

So, I definitely agree with you that Remus is a little reluctant to 
touch Harry and when he does (when Sirius falls) I have to wonder 
why?

NO, I don't find strange that Remus wants to save Harry from falling 
too. What I do find strange is how did he know that Veil is deadly 
that FAST?

Was Remus working in the Department of Mysteries for some time 
before he came to teach? Is that how he spend the twelve years?

BUT, wasn't your original point that Lupin never touched Harry? So, 
what are you arguing now? I am not being sarcastic, I just want you 
to clarify your theory.

How do you read "keep in touch"? Do you read it as some kind of 
hidden warning to Harry?
