On the contrary - I think it was very clearly an arc that he seemed to be heading for for quite some time. While even in the earlier books he shows some character (the incident in Chamber of Secrets where he tries to stop Harry et al. from busting out of the common room or whatever), there was the whole bumbling incompetence thing. But I thought that his involvement with Dumbledore's Army and the battle at the Ministry marked a turning point where he became more confident in himself, and from there I think it makes a ton of sense. Besides, the characters are all supposed to be 17 year old kids; it would be pretty weird if they DIDN'T change.

I agree that it was an obvious arc, but I don't find it realistic.

These seem kinda like contradictory impulses to me - you dislike unhappiness of characters you like and yet still felt Harry should die?

What? I never said I dislike unhappiness, I said that it made me upset, because I didn't like the 2 characters arguing in such a way. I was more stating that the scene between Harry/Lupin had a strong impact on me.
