Mmmmm, to me the difference is that Lupin and Tonks were already 
married and when Harry's gesture I saw as idiotic in the noble way, 
Lupin's - idiotic in the cowardly way or in " I do not love you" way.

Wouldn't one want to protect the woman he truly loves by being 
**near** her? Wouldn't one think that Tonks, who is also pregnant 
would be in less danger with Lupin by her side?

It is not like Violdemort is hunting LUPIN specifically, no? All 
order members are obviously in danger, so wouldn't the husband, who 
is in danger want to protect wife who is also in danger?

Harry is staying away from his girlfriend, whom he supposedly offers 
to go separate ways. What I am wondering if maybe Remus would much 
prefer to go separate ways too.

Alla:

Oh, sure with this part I agree completely. In fact it would make 
sense for ALL Order members to want to help Harry and Co. So, sure in 
part it is the "let's get adults out of the plot's way" syndrome IMO.

Alla:

I do care :) Not that fully approve, no, but find it to be very 
realistic one and loving too.

Lupin

It never entered in my head, not for a second heheh.
