Hi, Elisabeth! I like your questions.

I also was curious why Lupin and no one else stopped Harry. Since I 
don't think that Lupin is ESE, for today I settled on the 
speculation that Lupin simply knows more about the Veil then he lets 
on. For example he may have been working in the Department of 
Mysteries  and studying the Veil during those twelve years. That is 
why he knew that Veil is deadly.

As member of SAD DENIAL, I prefer to think that he was mistaken 
though. I think that Harry will travel through it at some point and 
comes back.


Just my opinion,
