Later, Lupin uses the Boggart to present
Harry with a Dementor in
order to practice the Patronus charm. 
This fake Dementor has the same effect
on Harry as a real Dementor....
My question, then, is this: 
If Harry is affected as though the Boggart 
were a real Dementor, why isn't Lupin affected 
as though the Boggart were the real
moon? <<<<

I think that the reason Harry was so affected by the boggart/dementor was because his fear of the dementor was so great, as well as fresh in his mind. If you'll recall, in book 4, he meets a boggart in the maze (in dementor form) and is unaffected. I think it has something to do with the level of experience the wizard has.
