I think there's a tendency to read that scene with Lupin asleep on the train and want him to be awake. After all, it's what would happen in fic, innit?
You raise a good point. As writers of speculative fiction, we want the truth to be the most interesting possibility, rather than the most obvious. Of course, the great thing about fic is that my Remus can be awake, your Remus can be asleep, and it still works.
