Aren't you jumping here from favorite book to favorite character? 
Lolita is a great book in my opinion too, but Hombart Hombart is 
certainly not a favorite character of mine - interesting, human, 
tragic, pathetic, touching, yes - but not somebody I'd like to meet. 

JKR lists Lupin as a favorite character with Harry, DD and Hagrid - 
in contexts that make it clear that she *likes* them *as people* (she 
speaks differently of her enjoyment in writing Snape). 

Quoted from http://www.jkrowling.com, "About Me" section of FAQ 
(answering "who is your favorite character?"):

"I love: Harry, Hermione, Ron, Hagrid, Dumbledore, Ginny, Fred, 
George and Lupin. I love writing (though would not necessarily want 
to meet) Snape."

Therefore, Lupin is as much likely to be revealed as evil as Harry, 
Hagrid, Ron etc.
