Lia,
This may not help much, but Pippin's condensation post, (#146764) a 
tour-de-force of the Reader's Digest History of Lupin(!) does touch 
briefly on a point, near the end that helped me. Perhaps Lupin never 
meant to let things get this out of hand. Perhaps he is truly 
conflicted, not merrily rolling along as a DE or werewolf sympathizer 
but finding himself in compromising situations that demand difficult 
and unpleasant measures. This doesn't mean he isn't on the wrong side, 
but perhaps there are degrees and in those degrees, the real tragedy. 
Just a thought...
