Actually, you would never know to hear harsh on Remus, but I doadmire the character. There is nothing enobling about poverty. It is wearying and tiring. Not having quality food or drink, and ripping apart your body once a month takes a toll. And Remus is determined to be the best teacher he can be.
As for Dumbledore trying to put Remus in a positive light and making nice with the Ministry -- he's got his own ass to cover, being the guy who hired Remus in the first place.
Damn good point- I thought of that when I first sent that reply. Dumbledore is in really deep shit at hat point on in PoA, and it continues to build to the point in OOTP where he has to flee or wind in jail.
