Kemper now:
It seems to me that Harry is holding Lupin accountable to the
responsibilities of being a husband and father.  Harry in not
condescending toward Lupin.  Harry already knows that Lupin's life is
in danger.  Lupin has all the information to make whatever poor choice
he wishes to.  The Grangers most likely did not as they would have to
get that information from Hermione which seems unlikely as it would be
OOC.
