Yes, I assume that Harry will undergo a personal betrayal in Book 7,
from someone close to him that he's trusted in the past.  It would
reinforce the fact that Voldemort is still capable of getting people
on his side or to do his bidding voluntarily.  Fake!Moody was someone
Harry was growing to trust but although it was a huge shock Harry
didn't have an emotional investment in him.  This would have to be
someone Harry considers a friend.

I also agree with Lucianam that ESE!Lupin would be a real kick.  I
too find it bothersome that Lupin was so willing to whack Pettigrew
in the Shrieking Shack in front of the Trio, and that he apparently
lifted not one finger to find out how Harry was doing in Little
Whinging all those years.  

Unlike Pippin, I don't see the necessity of inserting Lupin into
every scene where something bad happens over the past six books.  For
me it would be enough for him to undergo a growing estrangement from
James and Sirius after the Prank, to find himself in financial
hardship after graduation, to feel a growing resentment of his
friends' personal financial security and their inability to
understand how difficult it was for him, to discover after POA that
the situation had changed and that he was now the stronger Marauder
and Sirius was dependent on him emotionally, and to feel increasing
contempt for the WW which sees itself as so superior to other magical
beings and yet is totally incompetent to protect itself.  

An ESE!Lupin finally letting the bitterness of decades well up and
overpower him would be a major shock to Harry.
