I loved this description, For the first time, there is no sudden surge of panic, no sense that he is being smothered by his own mistakes. He finds they do not plague him here, consuming him, feeling like crimes committed in moments of weakness. and Remus's thoughts about being irritated by Dora's youth.
This was theraputic for me to read. I've been depressed about Remus's death (but I was so, so happy that the last time we see him he's with Sirius again).
I'm still trying to sort through my thoughts about the whole Lupin story in DH. I agree with most of what you've said here. Although, from my reading it adds up that they were married for 2 to 6 weeks before Tonks became pregnant. Voldemort is taunting Bellatrix about the marriage that happened 'this week' at a DE meeting towards the end of July. Lupin comes to Shell Cottage to announce Teddy's birth sometime in April. It's close though.
