I always thought that it was probably a plot hole, but then I considered
that Lupin has to take the potion every night. This might not have been
Night 1 of this month's dosing. Like a one-year vaccine which is
actually good for a few months beyond that, I supposed that the effects
of the previous evening's dose had lingered a bit, but then the
unbroken, clear moonlight finally overwhelmed it.
