Alla:

No, I did not mean for Tonks though, although certainly for her as 
well. I meant for me as a reader. As to what business Harry has 
chasticising Lupin? None, except plenty of people who have no 
business doing it poke their nose in other people's business in 
Potterverse.

I mean, Aberworth had any sort of business telling Harry to leave 
this all and not do what Dumbledore told him?

I mean Harry is the party whom help is being offered. I would think 
that if he is rejecting the help he has a right to state his reasons, 
no?

What business Molly had to tell Sirius not to inform Harry about 
prophecy? She felt she had a right because she was protecting Harry, 
no?

I think Harry felt that being a friend he was protecting Lupin and 
his kid to, or something, but this is just speculation.

My answer is Harry had a right to speak up since he is the party to 
whom Lupin offered help, but besides that he is being voice of a 
reader, or at least some readers, just as Aberworth voiced what some 
readers had against Dumbledore, IMO.

Alla:

But then again, Remus came to Harry, it is not like the third party 
takes him to task, if not Harry, who else then? I mean besides Tonks 
obviously, but he did not come to her.
