the second reason is that i've come to understand that jkr's lupin really isn't my lupin. i think she missed her own boat, here. the man she created in PoA is not the man who appeared in later books. and the one in PoA is the one i love. in my mind, he lived on in another world. the one she killed off is a sort of AU lupin and i don't mourn him as much as i would the other.
WORD. WORDY MCWORD WORD. I so want to quote you, because that is EXACTLY how I feel. She DID miss her own boat. I'm so glad it isn't just me who thinks that he changed and DRAMATICALLY from PoA to OotP to HBP, etc. Like. A completely different character. And, in the end, there was barely a trace of the old Lupin, and that made me so sad, because I love him. Loved him. A whole, whole lot.
And, basically, word to everything else, too. YAY.
