Jumping in here: I think we did get some information that should have hinted at this. In PoA, he doesn't tell Dumbledore about Sirius' ability to transform, for fear of what that will say about him as a boy. That's pretty freakin' cowardly, IMO.

It took me a long time to be able to accept what happened with Remus in DH, but I got there. It certainly helps that it pretty much justified everything I'd ever said about the Remus/Tonks relationship.

It certainly helps that it pretty much justified everything I'd ever said about the Remus/Tonks relationship.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but what did you gather about their relationship pre-DH?

That she was pressuring him into it, basically. That he wasn't as prepared for it as she was, but was convinced to give it a shot despite his own wishes. I never actually got the feeling that he wanted her-- it was, instead, that he was being presented with her love, and told to act on it.

The fact that he bailed on her and their son pretty much says "I never wanted this to begin with", to me.

That's the way it came across to me too. I didn't think he was gay or was in love with someone else specifically, but that scene where everyone is saying how he's wrong for not marrying her...I figured it was supposed to come across as everyone getting Lupin to grab happiness, but it came across more like he didn't want to get married but couldn't stand up to everyone else's judgment. Then there's mostly focus on how happy she looks while he looks unhappy right away in DH. So it just never got associated with joy or love in my head, just Remus running away, Tonks chasing him and everyone else telling him to go back to her.

For sure. I actually was pretty convinced that he had been Polyjuiced into a spy for the bulk of the book, he was acting so out of character (IT IS I, REMUS LUPIN!), so it took me a while to wrap my head around his actions. The fact that I love him so much is how I made it work-- it changed how I thought of him as a character, but that's fine, since rejecting what we get in canon isn't something I like to do.

I wrote huge rants on Remus/Tonks when HBP first came out, because so much of fandom was loving it, and I had all these warning flags going up in my head. I don't know if it's what JKR meant to do, but it was certainly the end result.

Ahhh.
