Neri again:
>From your answer I must conclude that, had Lupin been honest and told 
DD everything about the marauders in the beginning of the year, or 
even many years before, DD wouldn't have believed him. After all, 
THREE animagi at the same time are far more fantastic than one. Hmm, 
now at last I understand why Lupin never told DD.

Seriously (er... yes) now, the Ministry had on the loose someone who 
was considered Voldemort's second-in-command, an extremely dangerous 
and capable wizard, the only one who ever broke out of Azkaban and no 
one knows how he did it. Clearly he has some secret ability. All the 
Ministry's aurors can't track him down and they are desperate enough 
to put his picture in the muggles media. Now it turns out he can 
break into Hogwarts despite the dementors guarding it. The situation 
of the Ministry is desperate and the Daily Prophet is having a field 
day. Suppose ESE!Lupin comes to them and tells them: "I knew him 
before he was arrested and I suspect that Voldemort taught him how to 
become a dog animagus". They might believe him or not, but they 
should be extremely stupid not to tell the aurors and the people in 
Hogsmead, just in case, to watch also for a big black dog. Sounds 
much simpler and safer for ESE!Lupin than taking on Sirius in 
werewolf form, especially since he is likely to lose his job if 
anybody notices a werewolf running around the grounds.
