Alla:

Oy, can I just express my admiration for your posts, like each and 
every one of them?

Okay, here is a funny thing, for me anyways. I do not **have** any 
Lupin bias, LOL. I mean, I of course have antiSnape bias, but I 
cannot say that I had ever been a big fan of Lupin. I mean, 
sympathize with him of course more than with Snape, if that counts 
as bias and giggle every time I hear Lupin being called evil, but I 
had never had especially high opinion of him. For the most part I 
find him weak and boring. Isn't it funny that he is getting the most 
smack for one night when he really **acts**?
 I know why he is the way he is because of his illness, etc. But 
give me Sirius any time. Give me Sirius any time also because 
Sirius, half crazy after Azkaban still has capacity to love Harry 
and Remus just does not seem to bother to get closer to Harry 
without Azkaban.

And I know why JKR made Lupin to be distant from Harry IMO anyways, 
I am pretty sure that she means to keep him alive and father figures 
who are close to poor Harry end up dead as we know, but that does 
not make me less annoyed with Lupin.

So, what I am trying to say is that I judge Lupin/ Snape interaction 
on their actions mostly, I would like to think and boy, Snape still 
comes out as disgusting bigot to me. I mean, of course I have 
nothing but contempt for Snape left, but I still look at his actions 
and shake my head in disgust.


I mean, I certainly feel a need to defend Sirius often enough when 
he is being argued against, but I still on the intellectual level 
recognize his bad actions and acknowledge it.
