Alla:

I do not know, dear. Trust me, I like your view and want you to be 
completely right on this one, I really do.

As I said, sure I could buy Lupin's insecurities in HBP and could take 
him denying himself true happiness and people trying to convince him, 
etc.

I am afraid that in DH his running away again is a bit too much that I 
could believably see true love there, which again does not mean that 
you are incorrect, just picture in my head.

I guess, insecurities or not, I just cannot see man who truly loves 
the woman he **just married** much rather join the Trio on the 
horcruxes hunt.

I have no doubt that he was truly happy when Teddy was born. I do not 
think he hated Tonks or anything like that, and I want to believe that 
he finally allowed himself to **love** her, but I just do not know.

I felt so sad when I read about them both lying there dead, snif, but 
did Remus die in love?

I do not know.
