You are very right, anonymouse! I'm mushing together different thoughts in my statement. Good parents are something of a rarity in fiction, and if they are good, then they die young. I've given Remus a good father and then killed him off :( But a person being essentially good doesn't automatically mean it was the result of good parenting--Sirius is good (in my story) despite rotten parents, so I rather did write it without thinking. I think what I meant more is that I wanted to give my Remus good parents because I think he suffers enough (and it doesn't have anything to do with his being a good person or not, though in my interpretation of the character, Remus' father is a huge influence on how Remus thinks and feels).
