I actually find Lemy to be pretty smart compared to what I expected - he's just a victim of poor circumstances. He never went to school, so he's obviously lacking in basic knowledge, and probably lacks social knowledge. He's also locked out of the loop when it comes to sin vessels no thanks to Julia - he doesn't know he's contracted, and probably doesn't even know what a contract is. You can't really expect him to make educated decisions when he hasn't gone to school and knows nothing about what's going on with the sin vessels. Add in his nasty case of tunnel vision and you have a recipe for disaster.

He's not really stupid insomuch as he's had no schooling, is locked out of the loop, and stubborn and narrow-minded, and Julia's not helping. Of course, he IS Hansel, and Hansel isn't exactly know for his cleverness, "THE FATE OF THIS WORLD IS ALL ON HIS SHOULDERS" be darned.
