Well, a little fanon'll fix that weakness up. A lot of people who love Lupin probably don't see him as being weak but just very long-suffering. I remember on N_A soon after OotP came out the Lupin over there seemed to interpret that scene as showing how Lupin was the good one who wasn't cruel to Snape and of course tried to stop his friends but in the end his only mistake was that he allowed Sirius to win him over (cause Lupin allows himself to be treated badly). Meanwhile his helping Neville meant he was turned into an all-encompassing earth mother who could solve everyone's problems while he suffered alone (with half the WW bringing him soup, that is).
