That's exactly what I meant, Richelle. Rowling really stressed the fact that
Lupin is poor. (Which makes me wonder about the dynamics of his relationship
with the wealthy James and possibly-wealthy Sirius.)

I somehow got on the Tiffany's mailing list, even though I live in Maine and
have never actually been to New York. :) If you ever want a $2,000
paperweight, Tiffany's is the place to go.

Sorry, it was a bad joke, and I didn't mean to confuse anyone. I forgot
about the werewolf/silver bullets thing. :)
