Like the way Remus says he didn't tell Dumbledore about Sirius being an animagus because he was afraid of Dumbledore knowing he'd betrayed his trust as a kid.
That passage is very important for my understanding of Remus, and it gives me the feeling that I know him much better than I do Sirius. With the latter, we never got anything like this "confession," so he is much more of a mystery than Remus. Still, we know more about him than Draco or Dumbledore, for example. These two almost always appear as plot devices, and their character can't always be seen very clearly because they so obviously have a definite purpose in nearly any scene they're in, whereas we can observe Sirius while he has nothing particular to contribute at all.
