kataya: Lupin is the tragic figure isn't he. Then again so was Mad eye and look what JKR did with him!? I dunno... there's something about Lupin I still don't trust. He's there kind of hovering around the centre doing ... ? ... who knows what... ? Naa I reckon he'll be unveiled as a bad guy, either only back in Lily and James' day or still bad- spy, today. This stuff about things in the movie of PoA giving us clues is v. interesting though, yeah? Knowing JKR, it'll end up being the most obscure, ridiculous reference in the movie to the book that no-one in the world will get (a la Cedric).

I'm with you though kataya, I think the idea of tragic Lupin being in love with adorable Lily is just too romantic. What if that secret love turned bitter? What if he got sick of watching that 'Mr Charisma- James' got the girl and did something stupid like seek revenge by trying to become the Potters' secret keeper? When that failed, did Lupin, ... ohh, I dunno .... maybe tell Voldemort to recruit Pettigrew...? Was Sirius right when he thought Lupin was the spy???

The movie of PoA left out some interesting stuff but man, it gave us some diabolical clues as well....; clues that even gave JKR the "chills"!
