Buy Lupin is not an abuser of children.  A man who makes many 
mistakes, yes.  A man who has paid for them, yes.  But a man who 
with cruelty and sadism abuses children while an "epitome of 
goodness" stands by and lets it happen?  No.

Yes, it most certainly is.  Snape is an abuser of children, IMO, 
over and out.  And if JKR does not deal with that, then she will 
have failed in a reprehensible manner that leaves her books good for 
nothing but mulch.
