And someone else wrote that this wasn't just a boy's joke, because 
Snape could have been killed by Lupin/werewolf. 
Sp far, so good, but, as we know from Sirius himself, Snape was very 
advanced in magic when he came to Hogwarts ("...when he came to 
Hogwarts, he knew more curses than most of us in their seventh 
year.."). So, I'm convinced that, in his 5th vear, he would surely 
have been able to defend himself against a werewolf- after all, when 
he replaces Lupin for that famous DADA-lesson, he wonders that third-
years are not even able to recognize a werewolf (certainly also an 
exageration, because he wants to criticize Remus before his class, 
but anyway...)
My conclusion is that james Potter did a favour to Remus rather than 
to old Sevvie, preventing him from enterin the Shrieking Shack, 
because IMO he thought that remus, not Severus might have been killed.

I promise to everybody to read up in the archives when I have my next 
brilliant idea, but I simply have to tell you this one, whether it 
has already been said or not: As JKR is so careful about chosing 
names, might "Remus Lupin" not have a double meaning, or rather, 
might it not be a clue to more than just his being a werewolf (lupus-
Lupin)? In other words: Where there is a Remus, there could be a 
Romulus, more so because those twins had been raised by a WOLF? 

I sincerely hope not to be OT, but might there be coming up some 
problem with a Remus-twin we haven't yet heard of?

OK, I know this is all mad, but tonight I dreamed my umbrella was a 
portkey.
