I'll begin by saying I just made the jump over from the Yahoo! group.  
So I guess I'm technically a newbie....  But I wanted to jump back on 
this Lupin and werewolves discussion, it's really facinating and 
intelligent.

Oh, thank you.  I have to say that I am completely and totally in love 
with Lupin.  (He's right up there with Hawkeye Pierce and Obe Wan 
Kenobe as far as fictional characters I would date).  All my other 
girl friends who are fans think that Sirius is the sexy one, no, not 
for me, Remus has far deeper problems than just jail, and he's still 
so gentle (well, most of the time anyway)....

Also, I would like to make a quick point about the word LYCANTHROPY.  
Lycanthropy refers to anyone who can assume ANY kind of animal form, 
not just werewolvism (alos, I think there might be a pyshosis called 
lycanthropy in which people believe themselves to be animals).  So 
technically, all the Animagi are lycanthropes.
