Julie:
> I think Lupin tells Tonks he is too dangerous for her because he's
a  werewolf and could possibly hurt her.  It's his love for her that 
causes him to be so protective of her.  #6's biggest theme is that
of  sacrifice for the ones you love.  Lupin's relunctance to accept
Tonks'  love was his denying his heart's desire for her.

Pippin:
The theory is that Lupin's motives for joining
the DE's are political.  HBP confirms that he has come to identify
with other werewolves, perhaps more than with fellow wizards, 
and that Umbridge and her like are so firmly  entrenched  in the 
Ministry that  even if Voldemort is  defeated, werewolves would 
still be gravely oppressed. 

I believe parallel to the question of what would make a nasty git
like Snape serve Dumbledore, Jo is dealing with the question of what 
would make a kind and decent person choose Voldemort, and 
establishing that Lupin is indeed capable of love is part of that. 

Of course there won't be proof till Book Seven, if ever. But I'm
about 99% certain now.
