I  don't see much profit in it, thematically or plot wise. ESE!Lupin 
 would be a shattering revelation near the climax of Book 7, right?
So  there won't be time or emotional momentum left for *another* 
shattering reversal. But we have known Wormtail as a traitor for 
three books, so now he's just ripe to do something noble for Harry, 
and then it can be part of Lily's love protection. 

Pippin:
But Harry's sure to get it wrong. He can spend most of seven being
sure that it was Snape who had the unhealthy crush on his mum, 
no matter who it is really.

Pippin:
Not if your motives are political. Remember how Voldie took advantage
of the infighting among the Giants?

Neri:
> And speaking of Fenrir, we now have a canonically super-evil
werewolf  who likes biting small children, and he's so obviously
Lupin's opposite number. So if Lupin turns out to be evil too, who's 
left to  show that werewolves aren't necessarily bad? You'd need 
someone extremely good and powerful to balance *both* Fenrir and 
ESE!Lupin. Luna would hardly fit the bill, and I don't remember her 
showing any  symptoms in HBP either.

Pippin:
Ah, Fenrir. So useful. With him around, picking his teeth and
glowering, who'd ever suspect poor, lovestruck Remus? I've been
having a good chuckle about Herself saying she used Tonks's romance 
as a red herring. Little do we know. 

But you're forgetting Bill.  Extremely good, extremely powerful, and 
discrimination against him is even more unfair, because he can't even 
transform!

> Neri:

records about him, he wouldn't even have to bother charming them. 
What do you think Crabbe and Goyle did for *their* detentions? It
was  probably like: "Goyle, have you learned to read already? Good. I
want  you to go over these records and burn anything with the name 
Snape in  it." Standard cover-your-tracks triple-agent procedure.

Pippin:
But then he'd have to obliviate Goyle or risk blackmail from Malfoy.
Too dangerous.
