Neri:
Your suspicion seems to imply that a prime target of ESE!Lupin is 
Sirius. If so, why didn't ESE!Lupin simply went to DD (or even 
better, straight to the Ministry) in the beginning of the PoA year 
and told them that Black is a dog animagus? The ministry and the 
dementors would have then done Lupin's dirty work for him.

If ESE!Lupin doesn't want to admit to DD that as a boy he betrayed 
his trust, he can hide from DD the marauders story, and tell him that 
Black became an animagus after he had left Hogwarts. Who's to tell DD 
otherwise?
