>I'm always amazed that readers overlook so much about Lupin when we
are given two very clear examples of Lupin's willingness to put his
own personal benefit -- for the more trivial desire to keep his
friend's goodwill -- above the lives of children and townspeople.
If this was a one-time occurance it would be one thing, but in both
cases -- Lupin's jeopardizing the safety of the community in order
to keep the goodwill of his Marauder friends, as well as his
jeopardizing the lives of his students in order to keep Dumbledore's
goodwill -- Lupin consciously makes these decisions over and over
again. He repeatedly and knowingly jeopardized the lives of the
community for literally *years.* And he repeatedly withheld
information and jeopardized the safety of his students for an entire
school year.
This isn't just a "mistake." This, imo, is indicative of huge
character flaws.

Now that Lupin is living with and spying on the werewolves, does this mean
he is transforming with them?
Is he living as a werewolf and biting children and eating up poor lost
homeless victims?
