Pippin:
Perhaps Reg sent an owl, "to be opened in the event of my death" dated
only a few days before his body was discovered. It could have gone to
his parents, or the Daily Prophet, or even Kreacher. It's odd that 
Lupin should take more interest in the details than Sirius --  but it
could be a hint that survival time for DE's who betray Lord Voldemort
is a matter of personal interest to him <veg>.
