Alla:

Can I just briefly comment that I find your analogy to be flawed?

Cannon IS clear that Draco almost killed Katie and Ron, clear as in 
NOBODY can object to that and as I said previously  IF DD had enough 
knowledge, NOT suspicions, in my book he was obligated to act.

Cannon is NOT clear that Lupin killed Sirius, I mean it is clear to 
you, I am sure, but to me ( and I will go out on a limb and speculate 
that not just to me) this is just one of the possibilities and very 
unlikely to happen.

So, yes if anybody wanted Lupin detained based on your interpretation, 
I would absolutely say that such arrest has no grounds whatsoever - as 
in no EVIDENCE to detain Lupin.

Situation with Draco IMO is very very different.

JMO,
