Me:

Good point illyanna.  I also think that Lupin was probably taking his potion
at that point of the book so the moon shouldn't have affected him.  Does
anyone have information regarding the abilities of boggarts?  If a
dementor!boggart can affect someone the same as a real dementor, can it give
The Kiss?
