Very true.  But I didn't see Lupin giving Harry very much "emotional
support", similar to that which he extended to, say, Neville.  His
position as a teacher was a limitation as was his own more retiring
personality.  So I'm inclined to think that the emotional support
argument was not one of Dumbledore's reasons.

Having a DADA teacher who was homicidal only once a month as opposed
to year round, on the other hand, might have been a factor.
