Probably would have to be in werewolf form.  Though I can't for the life of
me see why Lupin would want to bite anyone when he's not transformed.  I
would think it still safe for Dumbledore to let him near students.  Unless,
of course, Dumbledore has had problems before with professors biting
students. ;)  Though he did have one turning students into ferrets.  Though
that didn't happen until later on. :)

No, but if he's part vampire I don't see why it's not possible.  And if
there's a potion for Lupin I'm sure Snape could whip up something for
himself to be able to go out for a while.
