>>For sure Lupin can apparate! he was with the others collecting Harry
from the Dursleys in OOP. When you reread it you will find that they
apparated in the kitchen. Tonks told Harry in his room that she
knocked over something (which I don't remember right now what it was).

CathyD now:
First, I have no opinion of whether Lupin can apparate or not.  Hardly makes a difference, really, IMO.  However, all of the Advance Guard had brooms with them.  Who's to say they didn't fly to the Dursley's as well as fly Harry away?  One more convicing piece of evidence that Lupin can't apparate though, is in POA.  Dumbledore came into Lupin's office and told Lupin his carriage was waiting at the gate.  No need, really, for a carriage if you've only got to walk off the school grounds and apparate somewhere.  I do think though, that we're led to believe the Order members apparated to the Ministry of Magic for the battle at the end of OP (obviously, they didn't take the undeground).  Although, now that we  know about Side-Along Apparition, someone (Tonks) could have taken Lupin with her.
