It seems reasonable to me that he forgot those things after the mind-
boggling revelation that Pettigrew is alive and his good friend 
Sirius, who had suffered in Azkaban for all those years, was 
innocent and in the area. 

Just for the record, I don't think that Lupin is ESE.  I think he 
withdrew from touching Harry because he's spent the last 14-16 years 
being cast about out from place to place without any of his friends 
to support him or accept his affection.
