> I don't think that JKR would set up Lupin's relationship with 
Tonks just to have him change sides.

Pippin:
It's a dangerous relationship, IMO, not because Lupin is a werewolf
but because it's so one-sided. Lupin didn't lose his powers. 
We don't see him looking for shoulders to cry on. He
seems to agree to resume the relationship to please others, not
himself. IOW, Tonks seems by far the needier of the two, and far
more invested in the relationship than Lupin is.  I don't think JKR 
believes that's healthy, and I think she's setting up the relationship
to show us that it's not.
