Audra, you are correct. The potion only makes Lupin harmless. 
If you recall he said that Snape had been brewing the potion for him all year 
and that he would simply curl up in his office during the transformations. 

The night that Lupin transforms under the moon at Hogwarts, he did not take 
the potion, thus was render unable to stop himself from being violent.
