Alla:
 I am glad we agree on Dementors' part, LOL.

 I wonder how you make out comparison with Draco here and especially 
with "far less evidence" part? I mean, Dumbledore knows what Draco 
is doing, does he not? Meaning preparing his assassination. So, I 
presume that Dumbledore is perfectly aware of what's going on with 
more or less details (cabinet, etc). Draco preparing Dumbledore's 
assassination is canon fact.   Lupin being Up To Something is not 
canon fact, it may be Snape's interpretation, but if it is, I second 
Mike's question, who does Snape think he is to act as judge , jury 
and executioner?

Especially since he apparently pleaded his case with Dumbledore for 
a year with no results.  

Oh, I speculate  Snape wanted them all dead and the only thing that 
stopped him from killing Lupin and Sirius on site was the 
possibility  that Ministry will catch him and send him to 
that "nice" island Azkaban. I am sure Snape could have cooked up a 
story – that it was a self defense and all that, but why risk that 
maybe he will not be believed, etc?

So much easier to bring them to the castle and watch how dementors 
kiss them IMO.


Oh, and I do not remember people arguing that Dumbledore should 
feed "presumed DE Draco" ( who may very well have dark mark under 
his sleeve) to the Dementors.

Take him out of circulation – sure, absolutely, but not even arrest 
him in my view. I mean, I would not cry if he would have  
accidentally died in the process – fate, etc, but I sure do not want 
DD to kill him, lol.
