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.


Alla:

That is the thing though. Would it have been the RIGHT thing  if
Lupin would have resigned? Sure, it was VERY dangerous for him to run 
around without Wolfsbane, but as someone suggested - the 
circumstances were SO very far from ordinary and so very not likely 
to be repeated again.

I think that now Lupin is unlikely to forget about the Wolfsbane ever 
in his life, although again as I mentioned earlier if you have to
take medication all your life, you ARE likely to forget about it 
sometimes under far less stressful circumstances, IMO.

Dumbledore and Hogwarts lost the best defense teacher they had in
years 
and not only Harry thinks that Lupin is a good teacher.

JMO,

Alla.
