Pippin:
Huggybunny my foot. But since Jen asked for explanations 
other than  EverSoEvil!Lupin, I'll just point out that 
Sirius's suspicion of his old friend isn't the only thing
besides legilimency/occlumency that needs explaining.
In no particular order:
<SNIP>

Alla:

Personally, I don't find half of your questions to be suspicious and 
the other half to be plot based suspicious ( because as Jen said 
Lupin needed to be ambious through PoA), but I will try to answer a 
few. In exchange would you finally promise to answer only TWO of 
mine? 
Yes, as creator of ESE!Lupin :-) Please?

Pippin:
> What's so funny about a cockroach?

Alla:

I think Nora explained it once that cockroach is a reference to 
British cartoon or comics or something like that.

Pippin:
> Is his boggart really a full moon or does the "silvery orb" 
> represent something else?

Alla:

Full moon, definitely full moon. :-)

Pippin:
> Why is Lupin absent on Christmas day in PoA when
> it shouldn't be full moon yet?

Alla:

Hmmm, maybe he is one of those mysterious Hogwarts teachers, yet to 
be revealed, who is married and wanted to spend Cristmas with his 
family? Just a guess of course.


Pippin:
> Why did Snape think Lupin was in on the prank?

Alla:

Oh, this one is easy. :-) Snape thinks that EVERYBODY was in on the 
Prank. I will not be surprised  if he thinks that Dumbledore was in 
on the Prank.

I will leave others to somebody else . Jen, loved your answers. :-)


And now, my question, what do you make of the fact that JKR wished 
him Happy Birthday?

Is he the only villain, who had been wished Happy Birthday so far? If 
so, why make an exception?

I also want to know what do you make of the fact that JKR would love 
him to teach her daughter?

OK, in all other instances when she praises Lupin, I guess you can 
make a case that she refers specifically to his teaching skills, not 
to him as a person, but I am having a very hard time buying an 
argument that JKR would want a teacher for her daughter, who serves 
an evil monster, even thouh he is professionally all right.

Just my opinion of course,

Alla.
