PoA has always and will always be my favorite book, and Lupin has a lot to do with that. (Though Sirius is probably the main reason, followed closely by Hermione bitch-slapping Draco and Oliver Wood sobbing like a baby when they win the Quidditch Cup.)
But yes. Lupin. He's very zen. Or he was right up until Dumbledore was killed, and then I'm not sure what happened to him. Suddenly this decent person was like "OMG SNAPE IS EVIL, HUNT THE MOFO DOWN." And I was like, huh? And then there was the really strange and unsettling confrontation in Grimmauld Place in book 7 (he attacked Harry!), and basically I lost a lot of respect for his character and couldn't figure out what JKR was doing with him, unless he was really that torn up about Sirius's death. Which I consider likely because, even though I'm not a Puppyshipper, dude. That ship has to be canon. It's just gotta be. I consider that scene in the shack Exhibit A.
WOO what a ramble. Anyway. Yes. PoA Lupin is one of my favorite things in the world.
