As much as I loathe and fear the possibility of ESE!Lupin, I LOVE this idea.  Love, love, love 
it.  It's just the kind of thing JKR would do:  throw out a red herring like "I wonder why 
Professor Lupin's afraid of crystal balls?," resolve it with "aha!  it's the MOON!" and three 
books later, give another twist and reveal that it's the prophecy that terrifies him.

The problem is the movie, in which it Lupin's boggart is so obviously the moon (not a 
crystal ball or prophecy sphere) that it's clear that the moviemakers decided, as with the 
incident of seeing Pettigrew on the map, that they'd better simplify the storyline.  I don't 
believe JKR would have allowed it if it clashed with a future plot twist as big as "Lupin's a 
DE."
