Alla:

I am sorry, but **I** saw nothing of Lupin's arranging for Snape to 
be publicly humiliated in PoA. I saw Lupin trying his best to 
restore Neville's self confidence after **Snape** publicly 
humiliated him.

So, I am afraid this just does not look to me as example of Lupin's 
cruelty, at all.


But that is of course just my opinion.


Alla, for whom the strongest point in favor of Lupin never being 
evil or Voldemort servant always will be JKR's remark that she would 
want Lupin to teach her daughter.
