Question about Boggarts

Sherry asks;

>>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?<<

Was the sun still up when the Boggart pretended to be the moon? I suspect 
that in Rowling's universe an werewolf doesn't change until the moon is up 
and the sun is *down*, If the sun is still up it canceles the lunar effect 
(Since the moon opposes the sun when it is full the sun usually is down -- or 
very nearly so -- before the moon rises.)
