think it likely that werewolves are sometimes seen in the Forest.  The
Wolves don't have to stay there once the moon is no longer full and
they revert back to being human.  Perhaps the Forest is just where
some werewolves go when they run, and then when they're done running
they go wherever home is for them. There may not be as many as are
rumored, but even if one was once spotted, it's a good story to keep
the kids away.

Werewolf Pups-
While logically there would seem to be no werewolf pups since you
become a werewolf by being bitten by a werewolf, what happens if a
werewolf mates with a regular wolf or a werewolf mates with another
female werewolf?

Certainly, either of those would result in 'werewolf pups', although,
for them to remain in a constant state of 'wolf', it would almost have
to be wolf/werewolf combination. I suspect the pups of a werewolf/wolf
would not be as dangerous as pure werewolves, and certainly pups would
not be as dangerous as a full grown adult.

I do agree about werewolves and the forest. It is entirely possible
that people who are werewolve seek refuge in the forest when the full
moon approaches, then go back to their (somewhat) normal lives when
they recover. There could even be a colony of werewolves or a werewolf
village deep in the forest (or other locations in Europe) where
werewolves can live a somewhat normal life.

Lupin seems to have survived reasonably well for 30+ years; he seems
to be an intelligent and reasonably educated man, so we can assume
that while his options were very limited, he did do something
productive with his time.
