I agree that there is a huge plot hole, but think that the only 
explanation in this case is "OOPS.  No one is perfect."  
Alternatively, "I'm not going to ruin a good plot just because Remus 
is supposed to have transformed already."   She could possibly do 
some retroactive rearranging by trying to argue that the moon didn't 
rise until late during that part of the year, but the bottom line, 
IMO, is "oops."  Besides, doesn't the moon rise relatively early in 
late spring/early summer?
