Bart:
	And perhaps a key step must be done under a full moon. It would make 
sense.

	I am curious as to exactly how wealthy Harry actually is. I suspect 
that, had he not been in the middle of a battle, he could have spent the 
rest of his life without working a single day, and have enough for his 
children, especially with a few investments as shrewd as George & Fred 
(I'm interested that they considered the money a loan; I wonder if 
they've paid it back, yet. I suspect that they have, that Harry 
compromised by refusing to accept interest, and the "free for life" is 
the way that Fred and George are getting around Harry's refusal). In any 
case, with Sirius Black's cash, I can't picture Harry not at least 
finding a sinecure for Lupin. Hell, Fred and George would probably hire 
him in a minute.

	I wonder if any students at Hogwarts have private tutors. Certainly if 
Harry hired him as a private tutor, it wouldn't be charity.
