>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?
