Or he "ran out on his wife" to help Harry and his friends defeat fucking Voldemort. It was Harry's interpretation that Lupin wanted to relive his glory days and was abandoning his pregnant wife. Harry thought Tonks was in love with her damn cousin in HBP, I'm not exactly trusting his pov.

James and Lily were fighters who put aside everything they were doing to keep Harry safe. We know James was chafing at the bit for some action, but he wasn't willing to leave Harry fatherless. Lupin wanted to do just that; find any excuse to abandon his child and wife and make it look glorious and martyrish. He had a duty to his wife and child that came before all else and his attempting to frame his leaving as a more important mission was him being a coward.

Meanwhile, Harry picked up that Tonks was pining for lost love from pretty few clues, I would say that was actually pretty intuitive on his part, even if he did get the object of her suffering wrong.

The side James and Lily were on in their war was doing a whole lot better than Lupin's was in Harry's war. In J&L's case Voldemort was a dangerous insurgent, but one who many other forces were arrayed against. In Remus' case his side was on Team Fucked and they were the insurgency against an evil overlordship. That is a pretty important difference.

But Harry didn't need Remus. Tonks did. And Remus most likely knew that. And it seemed pretty clear to me from the scene and the way he responded that Harry was right about Lupin's motivations.

When you are on Team Fucked then you need every warm body, sometimes if only as a meatshield and ammunition sink.

[philstar22]

Yes, but where you put the warm bodies matters. The Trio needed to do their own thing. Lupin knew that, I think. They were better off hiding and searching without having anyone else that might draw attention to them. Lupin was better used fighting the war in other places. And he went to Harry to run away from his other responsibilities.

find any excuse to abandon his child and wife and make it look glorious and martyrish.

I think survivor's guilt would likely to be playing into it rather than wanting personal glory.
