Pippin:
Lupin says he's a spy. 
"Dumbledore wanted a spy and here I was...ready made." HBP ch. 16 And his
mission is covert "Oh, I've been underground," said Lupin. "Almost literally. 
That's why I haven't been able to write, Harry; sending letters to you would
have been something of a giveaway."

Anyone noticed that the questions we're asking about Lupin the spy are the
same ones we used to ask about Snape? Namely, he seems to have been
publically outed, so how can he be getting away with it? Could be it's the
same answer -- Voldemort thinks Lupin is really spying for him. And, IMO,
he's right...

Worse than that, we don't know what happened to Fenrir -- he was 
unconscious last time we saw him, but then what? And Harry's invisibility 
cloak seems to be missing...
