I'm another "PoA-is-my-favourite" person :D I won't go into all my reasons at the moment, but I think I first read it when I was of such an age (read: rather young) that I didn't quite grasp the full horror of the Dementors and Harry hearing his mother's death. Besides that, I remember being really scared by the Basilisk, so perhaps by the time I got to the third book, I was no longer expecting it to be lighthearted. Plus, I love dark, scary things, of course >.> ^_^
I agree with you about Lupin being an amazingly decent person! While I wouldn't exactly call him my favourite character, he's the character I'd most like to know people like in real life. And you're right about what a badass he was in Prisoner of Azkaban - I don't remember him being quite so cool in later books, but he always kept his head more than the rest of the characters, and it might just be that he doesn't have as much 'screentime' in the later books...
