 An Guz:  I think you may be right about Lupin being a metaphor for 
an HIV infected person.  It makes a lot of sense, as do his 
objections.  A good friend of mine from high school died of AIDS 
several years ago, and the last time we (my high school choir reunion 
group) saw him, it was so sad.  He isolated himself from us for the 
entire evening.  He was
>  there, but not, in a manner of speaking.  Finally, our old choir 
teacher went and got him and brought him to the group, but it was 
obvious that it had been a long time since he felt that people really 
cared...

But of course the metaphor of him as a person with AIDS would also 
imply strongly that he is a gay man.
