But here, quoted from the FAQs of JKR's website is the one thing that
makes it impossible for me to believe:
"Who is your favourite character? I love Harry, Hermione, Ron,
Hagrid,Dumbledore, Ginny, Fred, George and Lupin. I love writing
(though would not necessarily want to meet) Snape."

I don't think EverSoEvil!Lupin would appear on that list - especially
given the way Snape is qualified.

Snow previously:

If JKR were to have said she either didn't like Lupin or omitted him
from her favorite character list, wouldn't that have made her
audience suspicious? Then again she may like this character with all
his flaws.


Alla:

I don't know, Snow. People hypothecised that she does not even wish
her "villains" Happy Birthday. :o)

I happen to think that when she says that she likes Lupin, she means
it and especially when she wishes that kind of teacher for her
daughter.

But I know that Pippin disagrees. :o) And of course what you said is
a possibility too. I am just not convinced. :o)

Snow:

The thread has veered off course just a tad from my original 
intension, which was to find out why Lupin would have been dangerous 
if he had taken his meds. as the doctor ordered. It was crucial for 
Lupin to take the potion during the week preceding the full moon, 
which I have to assume he has since we have not been told otherwise, 
to obtain its full effect. The only dose Lupin missed was on the 
exact night of the full moon, at this point he had already taken at 
least 6 doses, why is he acting like a full-fledged, out of his mind 
werewolf?

As far as wishing a happy birthday to villains or not, I guess time 
will do the telling, for Lupin must have a birthday by July 
30th ,which is the first recorded Happy birthday to the site, or he 
is ESE by this theory. How convenient that this occurs only two weeks 
after we get the next book. Hmmmmm.

Just because Lupin may be bad does not make him a bad teacher, 
likewise, just because Snape is seen as a bad teacher does not 
necessarily make him bad. You can be good at heart and be an awful 
teacher or vice versa. The one does not equal the other. JKR could 
get away with honestly stating that as far as teaching goes, she 
would want her daughter taught by Lupin, after all he is a great 
teacher.
