a cure for werewolfs?

No: HPFGUIDX 14279

I am in the middle of re-reading the Chamber of Secrets and noticed
that Lockhart says, "he performed the immensely complex Homorphus
Charm" and the werewolf turned back into a man, thus "delievered them
[the villagers] from the monthly terror of werewolf attacks."

Yet, in Prisoner of Azkaban, we learn that there is no cure for
werewolfs. Snape is brewing a potion, which obviously on he can do, to
reduce the severity of the transformation to a mere wolf who will curl
up and sleep.

O.K. so we know that Lockhart didn't do what he said he did in his
books, but in towards the end of CoS he admits that other people did
it and he got the story, then performed a memory charm to make them
forget and he could claim the fame.

This makes me wonder, is who is right? Is there a cure for werewolfs?
And if so, why didn't Lupin get cured? I think that Dumbledore or
McGonagall would be able to perform such a charm.

Ideas? Suggestions? Answers?
