I see. DD and Snape's success at manipulating and 
second-guessing the DADA curse in PoA engendered the 
hubris that lead to their downfall in HBP.  Interesting, 
but I don't see much evidence for that or for Lupin's 
continuing to report to Dumbledore during the time 
between the wars.

Except for one thing.  I am wondering now about the 
terms on which DD offered the DADA post to Lupin.  DD 
knew that Lupin would only be there for one year.  
Did Lupin?

As for the DADA curse itself, it's hard for me to imagine 
any curse that can be tampered with.  No canon for that
but plenty of mythology.  It seems to me to be in the nature
of a curse that it resists any attempts at circumvention.  In
other words I can't believe they would have gotten away with
it even once.

He'd been wanting to tell for about 18 years.
