Potioncat:

I found a nice resource by going to HPFGU Portkey, then to Resources 
then to a site about characters. It's a site that lists every 
character and the chapters where that character can be found. Here's 
the link:

The resources site itself has quite a bit to look through.

Back to this thread, using the above link, I found this about Lupin 
(which I also checked in my book):

PoA chapter 8:
In no time at all Defense Against the Dark Arts became most people's 
favorite class. Only Draco Malfoy and his gang of Slytherins had 
anything bad to say about Professor Lupin.
"Look at the state of his robes," Malfoy would say in a loud whisper 
as Professor Lupin passed. "He dresses like our old house-elf."
But no else cared that Professor Lupin's robes were patched and 
frayed. His next few lessons were as interesting as the first.


So, is that only Draco's gang or all Slytherins? And at that, the 
complaint is his frayed robes. I wonder if it's Snape's dislike of 
Lupin that Draco has picked up on, or if Lucius has said something. 
Draco showed comtempt for Lupin before the Feast the first day.
