 I get the general impression that there is a lot of prejudice about 
werewolves than there is about other inhuman humanoids - do you think 
Lupin would merit a "XXXXX16" warning? Harry even noted next to 
it "...are not all bad". Then there was the whole bit in PoA about 
parents not liking it that a werewolf taught their children. I think 
that it is the collective opinion that they are "beats", where some 
other things (Vampires, etc) are more respected. That's my opinion, 
anyway.

 And about the Dementor thing - Ewwww! I mean...blech. It makes 
sense, though. Nasty.
