I'm sorry, I wasn't clear in my wording.  The sequence was that Snape 
picks it up and brings it to the Shrieking Shack.  Then Lupin puts it 
into his pocket and takes it outside, where Lupin transforms.  Then 
Lupin runs into the forest as a werewolf.  So the Cloak is either 
with Lupin in the forest, or lying on the ground outside the Whomping 
Willow.  So why does Lupin say he "brought this from the Shrieking 
Shack" -- the one place the cloak could not possibly have been?
