Alla:

LOL Jayne I too love to defend my favorite characters, but trust me 
this is NOT character's abuse. Or at least I think so, hehe.

Want to see what character's abuse is just search under Snape or Harry. 
You will see MUCH harsher critique from both sides to both characters.

Not that I see anything wrong with harsh critique of the characters, 
because as we all know they are characters, but just saying.

I actually used to really like Remus, not as much as I like Sirius, but 
still like him and especially them together :-)

I still like him much better than Snape for example, but he did got on 
my nerves quite a lot especially in book 7.

But in any event, obviously we cannot argue about how we perceive the 
characters, their actions though - different story.

So, after my long winded beginning, I actually have a question. Could 
you elaborate why Remus was right not to contact Harry?

Do you see any GOOD coming out of it? I mean, would it hurt Harry to 
have somebody friendly to talk to in his early childhood?

I do not doubt that Remus loves Harry, I just do not see him doing 
anything for the son of his dead friends when he was little, anything 
at all.

I see his unwillingness to interfere as very in character, but do not 
find it sympathetic, I am afraid.

JMO,
