Alla:

Are you saying that NOTHING in what Lupin learned that night,  the 
revelations which made his whole world go upside down, could have 
made him just a little bit upset? The fact that the friend who he 
thought was  the betrayer was really not and the one who really 
betrayed the Potters is alive and well? I mean, I would have been 
more than a little shaken up by such revelations. If you are basing 
your interpretation that Lupin was not upset on the fact that he is 
not shaking with rage or something like that, I submit that it is NOT 
in Lupin's character to shake with rage and it is perfectly in 
Sirius' character to show that he is upset. IMO of course. I mean, I 
love Sirius' character, always did, but I think Remus could be just 
as upset as Sirius and maybe even a bit more since he learned just 
NOW that Peter is alive, he did not have time to process the 
information at all.

I mean, of course Sirius was more traumatised, but I have no idea why 
you are so sure that Remus could not have been upset that night too. 
JMO of course.

Alla:

Not in my book. Sorry! This is the stranger, whose very first act 
when he starts actually acting is to fight darkness of the Dementors 
with light of the Patronus. Not the symbolism I would picture evil 
character to be introduced with.


JMO,

Alla, who also thinks that basically every character of the canon can 
be interpreted as ESE! if the writer is so desires and who for 
example does not think that Mcgonagall is ESE despite the brilliance 
of Elkins' post
