My feelings are the same. I have been totally astounded by the analyses and 
theories. Like you, I read the books and enjoyed/loved them as a romping good 
read. It never occured to me to try to analyze them or form theories about them 
and the characters, or to try to find hidden meanings in them. But once you 
join a club like this the analyzing and theorizing becomes infectious and you 
find yourself doing likewise. I now will have to make the time to read the 
books again and do some from and with a different perspective. And the thing I 
will be most concentrating on looking for is ESE!Lupin. That is the only theory 
that has completely blown me away. Lupin is one of my favorite characters and I 
have never seen anything even remotely evil about him.
