To me, Lupin is another example of bad
fathering, another JKR dig at fathers in general. She doesn't pain them too
well in her series, except for Mr. Weasley.

Bobbarber26:
I think that Lupin, like all newly found out fathers, panicked. And all their
faults become so multiplied that they forget the great joy and responsibility
that they have to both the mother and kid. Also don't forget that he knows that the death eaters want him dead and if the kid was infected with the werewolf gene he would be at fault (he should have thought of that before sleeping with Tonks, and that the werewolf that made him would most likely hunt the kid down too).
