Ginger now:
I'd say he wouldn't hurt a fly.  A rat, however, is another story. ;)

The above quote was in the context of ESE!Lupin.  I have no doubt 
that Lupin would do what was necessary for the Order and/or for the 
fight against LV, but not because it is his nature, rather it is 
because he has come to understand from his involvement in VWI that 
sometimes one must harm someone to save someone else.

I also think that his gentleness has been purposely cultivated (but 
also part of his nature) to offset how he must feel about his 
lycanthropic impulses.

No, I loved Betsy's "badass" Lupin, but I do hold that he wouldn't 
hurt a fly.  A DE, a rat, possibly even a Senior Undersecretary are 
all fair game should they put themselves in such a postiton, but 
flies are pretty safe, unless they're animagi.

Ginger, taking an intense interest in our werewolf as of late.
