Dumbledore doesn't have the luxury of youth and has to act like a boss.

It's interesting that two years later he doesn't offer DADA to either 
Snape or Lupin over Umbridge. This suggests to me that Lupin might have 
some way to go before he's completely in Dumbledore's good books again.



Tonks:
Yes, I think that DD would have suggested to Lupin to do the right 
thing, if he hadn't resigned on his own. He has to protect the students 
on the one hand. On the other hand, I think DD would have given Lupin a 
second chance if it were not for the bad press. Not that DD cares about 
bad press, I don't mean that. DD cares about the students, and the 
peace of mind of the parents. He also cares about Lupin and forgives 
him, I am sure.  So on that last point I disagree with Magda, I don't 
think that Lupin is out of DD's grace.  DD is a practical man, not a 
judgmental man.
