	Well, how about this...the transformation can be triggered by 
moonlight but will take place in any case when the moon reaches 
its highest point in the sky, visible or not...sort of like the 
Arthurian Sir Gawaine whose powers were governed by the sun and  
reached their maximum at noon. 
	This  would give Lupin a reason for thinking he could risk going 
across the grounds to and from the willow just after sunset on a cloudy 
night. This is just my own personal explanation but will keep me in 
peace until the Great One explains (if she ever does.)
