There are some, even Pippin the originator of the ESE Lupin theory 
(having read her first post, post # 39362, on the idea), that 
didn't/don't want to admit for many reasons that Lupin could be evil 
but you have to put your feelings aside if you are to find the 
answer. Scrimmaging around in the archives as I often do (sticks 
tongue out at Yahoomort), I found a bit of what I think is evidence 
that Pippin is quite right in her theory about Lupin even if none of 
us would like to admit it.  

I came across a post; first post actually, from a poster N Fry post 
#39298,
who posed a few critical canon-based proposals:

"The above theory works if you assume that he has to drink the
potion just once on the night of the full moon. But in PoA ch. 18, 
Lupin 
tells the trio, "As long as I take it *in the week proceeding the 
full 
moon*, I keep my mind when I transform..." Earlier (in ch. 8), when 
Snape 
drops the goblet of potion off at Lupin's office, he informs Lupin 
that he 
made an entire cauldronful if he needs more. Lupin replies that he 
should 
probably drink some more the next day."

If Lupin keeps his mind as long as he has taken his potion the week 
preceding the full moon, why did he attack Sirius after the Shrieking 
Shack episode? Did Lupin forget to take the potion for the entire 
week before the full moon? This potion sounds like any drug that 
needs to be taken consistently to have the full effect but if one 
dose is missed it doesn't nullify its total effect. So was Lupin in a 
sound or semi-sound mind even after he transformed? Who notified 
those dementors, again? 

Very interesting, at least I thought so. Pippin defiantly has canon 
cannons to question, "Where his loyalties lie".
