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.
