anyway. 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.
AMEN! That is so very true. It's how I feel, too. It's been weird that since HBP he's felt OCC. Which is strange to say considering it's the canon source, but I've always maintained that he's not the same character as he was in POA & OotP. I miss that character and, in my mind, he's the one that was standing next to Sirius (and Lily and James) in that last image of him.
