Pippin:
Then I guess Molly Weasley is a complete moron also.

Arthur: We had to ask [Dumbledore] if he minds the Azkaban
guards stationing themselves around the entrances to the 
school grounds. He wasn't happy about it, but he agreed.

Molly:Not happy? Why shouldn't he be happy if they're there
to catch Black?

BTW, I don't think Lupin lies whenever he opens his mouth.
Au contraire, I think he tells the truth whenever he opens his
mouth. He was, IMO, telling the truth when he said that Snape
was right to say he couldn't be trusted, that he had betrayed
Dumbledore, that he forgave Sirius "not at all", that he has
been able to forget his guilty feelings, and that those
who had been denied their rights and freedoms for centuries
would be tempted by Voldemort's offers regardless of what
they knew about him. Oh, and he's not good enough for Tonks.

Lupin doesn't need to lie. His fans lie for him. They say that
the animagi business was all his friends' idea, that he had nothing
to do with the prank, it was just that Snape *hates* him, that he
had nothing to do with the spy, it was just that he's a werewolf,
that he thought Sirius was innocent and that's why he didn't tell
Dumbledore that Sirius was an animagus,  that he innocently
forgot to take his potion, forgot that he would transform, and
and was so distraught he couldn't remember even after he was 
reminded, and that he tried to kill Peter only because
he was overcome with rage. It's all plausible enough if you don't
look too deeply, I suppose. But not a word of it is in the books.
