And when you add his fleeing of Trelawny's offer to crystal gaze to 
the possibility that the boggart was a crystal ball, it totally 
throws you off of the wolf track.  

Though I have to do a little bit of complaining here, I wondered if 
he might be a werewolf when Hermione first read his name alound on 
the train.  But, being slightly dense, I sort of put it out of my 
mind.  And then, at some point I also became suspicious of Scabbers 
and my husband came down the hall (and he was way ahead of me at this 
point) and I remember wondering aloud to him (my mistake), "Must have 
something to do with Scabbers..."  ANd he kind of grinned and 
said, "So you know about Lupin then?"  I guess he thought I was in 
the Shrieking Shack already -- but then I had to stop and remember 
about Lupin's name, and then I thought about his symptoms and when I 
guessed he told me.  Grrr...  You know, he also told his whole high 
school, via his job as the morning announcements reader, that Darth 
is Luke's father.  Man.
