Me too.

I've never quite gotten the fan reaction to Lupin, or actually 
understood Harry's reaction to Lupin. I don't see much difference 
between Lupin distancing himself from Tonks in this situation and Harry 
distancing himself from Ginny. And with this war going on, it makes 
sense for Lupin to want to help Harry.

Actually, I don't JKR writes romance all that well. The one 
relationship that rings true is Molly and Arthur---and lots of fans 
don't care for that relationship!

Now, what I thought was happening, at first read, was that ESE!Lupin 
wanted to spy on Harry.
