1. Is there anything you'd like (or not like) for Sherlock to read based on observation of your character?
Lupin: Whatever you like! :-) Heheh, could be fun to see how Sherlock interprets the obvious physical signs for which there are unobvious magical causes. E.g. Lupin's wand-hand: callouses don't quite match excessive use of writing implement, that level of finger development could possibly resemble an orchestral conductor, or…? Then there are his scars: clearly claw marks, but why does the pattern look self-inflicted…?!? Personality-wise, the guy's an open book anyway, but his entire physical presence (posture, choice of clothes, haircut, expression) is all designed to say "I'm not a threat, I'm safe, don't notice me too closely or take me too seriously/severely"—but on Sherlock's scale he probably rates "moderately clever" (hovering somewhere near Irene's level perhaps?) and in his eyes there's a look, and the very deliberation of his nonthreateningness, would probably suggest a deeper capability and power (whatever Sherlock would choose to think that was!)
Lestrade - what don't you already know? :-D In fact, I'm preemptively giving you some godmodding rights re: headcanon/backstory to make humiliating observations about!
2. Would your character canonically recognize the character of Sherlock Holmes and you'd feel uncomfortable obfuscating it? Any ideas on how said character might react if s/he was introduced to Sherlock by name?
Lestrade: n/a. Lupin: He's heard of the traditional Sherlock Holmes literary character, but heck, he's met King Arthur and Merlin, which turns his world far more upside-down; he's not going to be flapped, or flap his yap, about it. Just the sort of thing one grows to accept in Anatole. He may not be able to resist throwing around a few inside jokes/literary references in Sherlock's direction, if that's okay with you. The ones that overlap with the TV series (which is many of 'em!) could be interesting.
