really friends) between Snape and Lupin in Book 7. Lupin seems like 
the person most likely to understand how the DADA curse could have 
led to the UV and trapped Snape into doing something he didn't want 
to do. I realize that this is an emotional reaction, a hope, not a 
theory, but I would love to see them develop an understanding that 
enabled Snape to help Harry, surreptitiously or openly. Knowing 
Lupin and his penchant for secrecy, it would probably be 
surreptitiously.
 
Tonks here:

I too would like to see Snape and Lupin working together.  Maybe 
they can see what they have in common.  They are both outcast, both 
working for the Order in places and situations that they would 
rather not be in. If anyone could understand Snape it would be Lupin 
who is a man of great compassion and empathy. I could see some sort 
of bond between them for the good of the cause.  I don't think that 
Snape hates Lupin.  He still hates James and Sirius yes, but I am 
not sure if that extends to Lupin now that they are both adults.  

Also wishing Snape a Happy Birthday, poor man. Maybe Narcissa will 
bake him a cake.

Happy to be with Lupin. I always liked older men.  ;-)
