remember if it was really mentioned on this list, and I don't read 
the main list. No offence meant, but whoever brought this up has 
never had a proper look at Hitler. Lupin has a mustache all right, 
but it does *not* resemble the one Hitler had which mainly 
consisted of a lot of bushy hair right under the nose and nothing 
on the sides. I'm really not a fan of mustaches either, but look 
again at Lupin's, it's different. Of course you don't have to like
it, 
just note it's different. ;)

Seems to me, if it looks enough like a Hitler moustache that  
people wonder if that's what it is -- "Lupin Hitler mustache 
OR moustache" found a couple of hundred Google hits-- then 
the filmmakers intended that effect or they just plain made a 
mistake. Sorry.

My crystal ball is just as cloudy as everyone else's, but  my 
guess is that just like all her other "surprise" revelations, JKR  
could prepare the ground well enough for ESE!Lupin that  the 
only shock readers receive will be that they didn't realize it 
sooner. I'm thinking not too many books will be thrown across 
the room. 

OTOH, those of us who can't resist imagining detailed outcomes 
may well be disappointed whatever JKR has in store --- in the 
distant past, when dinosaurs ruled the earth and  SW ROTJ had 
just been released,  I had a hard time adjusting to Luke being 
Leia's brother because I had shipped them so long.
