Arynn replies:
JKR said she intended him as a metophor for a person with a 
contagious illness with a lot of stigma attached to it. You have to 
admit this sounds like AIDS.

"Lupin's a wonderful teacher and a very nice man but he has a failing 
and his failing is that he does like to be liked and that's where he 
slips up because he has been disliked so often that he's always so 
pleased to have friends so he cuts them and awful lot of slack." --
JKR Royal Albert Hall June 26, 2003 Does this sound Evil? 

He may be over-lenient, but not evil. If every person with character 
flaws was evil then Dumbledore, Harry, Ron, Hagrid, all of you and I 
would all be ESE.
