Lupin has quite a lot in common with Snape. I think. They both keep to themselves and seem more interested in their own worlds. I don't see either of them being very friendly or particularly interested in affairs. And yes, I think Lupin cuts his losses just as much as Snape. I wouldn't trust either of them if the chips were really down. That Lupin breakdown in the infirmary was disturbing.
Maybe Gryffindors (except for Hermione and Neville) lack imagination?
That reminds me of the fairy tale "The Boy Who Could Not Shiver". Basically the boy lacked imagination and couldn't be frightened by evil spooks.
Its a great idea but I've long since stopped giving Rowling any credit for using fairy tale subtext. It is just how it looks. The Gryffindors are really, really, really brave and the rest drool.
