Wow, that would have been totally awesome. I hadn't even realized I had to be disappointed about that. I bet if you pointed it out to Rowling, she'd be disappointed about it too.
That would indeed be gruesome yet awesome. Damn you for spoiling my happiness by pointing out what might have been!
However, we are talking about a book where Harry, Ron, and Hermione tunneled out of Gringotts on a friggin' dragon, Mrs. Weasley calls Bellatrix a bitch and proceeds to whup her, and almost the first thing that happens is a massive dogfight on broomsticks. It's possible that Rowling initially tried your way of killing Lupin, but the combined awesome proved too much, leaving test readers unable to say anything other than "Wow!" and "Badass!" for weeks afterward.
