Neri again:
Umm, let me see if I got that right. ESE!Lupin is a traitor and a
murderer several times over, yet JKR likes him because he may change.
She will offer him a chance to change, but he will refuse it and die a
traitor and a murderer. Sorry, I think I lost it again. Why did you
say she likes him? Oh, because he may change. But he won't. Goodness,
I'm completely baffled now...

Also, according to this argument, can I assume that Snape, who is now
having his second chance, also may have murdered 12 innocent muggles
or something similar when he was a DE? But still, since he has now
changed, why isn't he included in the list of characters JKR likes?
