Greetings, Pippin (and all who have interest),

As you may know, I have followed ESE!Lupin with great interest, and I 
believe I have read most of what has been written on the subject.  If 
I am misunderstanding or retreading, please accapt my apologies.

I may be confused by unclear pronouns here, but you said:
(Pippin)
>  Lupin was instrumental in the prank, as Snape suspected. After he
> left Hogwarts, Lupin joined the Order. Needing an alias to hide 
> behind while working undercover with the werewolves, he used the 
> name Wormtail. 

Later you said:
(Pippin)
> Lupin then settled for arranging Peter's escape, knowing he would
> transform as they were enroute from the castle, calling the 
dementors 
> away from the gates and once again endangering
> Harry. He then forced Peter to return to Voldemort and cooperate in 
> the rebirthing scheme. It was he, AKA "Wormtail"  who killed Cedric.

Now for my confusion:
(Ginger)

Do you mean to propose that Lupin was in the Graveyard, acting under 
the name of Wormtail?  IOW, it was not Peter who was there at all, 
but rather a cloaked and hooded Lupin?

If this is the case, how do you explain that Harry recognized 
Wormtail by his missing finger?  Said finger being again mentioned 
when Wormtail cut off his hand.  

Earlier, in a part that I snipped, you said that it was indeed Peter 
who cut off his finger.  Do you mean to imply that Lupin also cut off 
one temporarily?  What of Pettigrew's silver hand?  Or is this now 
Lupin's new hand?  

Am I understanding your point wrong?
