Hiya Jessica, first, I still stand by my transformation post # 48240 as to my 
own personal theory about the transformations, i.e. why the occur when they 
do...

But IMHO as to why Snape taught the class is that although after time as 
bboy_mn at yahoo.com  theorises Lupin's transformations become less painful and 
torturous on his body, in the beginning his transformations are still quite 
painful...

Look at Lupin's descriptions of his time in the Shrieking Shack as a 
Hogwart's student... tghey are painful and without a huiman to bite, he bites 
himself...

Although, I think he eludes to the fact that his transformations became 
easier on him as a result of his time with Marauders, he probably still had a 
bad bit of it to go during his adult transformations...

I just wish I knew, other than Lupin's statement in PoA that he was a poor 
potions maker, why he hadn't been taking Wolfsbane since its conception... if 
I were a werewolf and had to deal with the transformations every 28 days, I 
would want the potion the minute it was discovered.... much like I feel about 
Midol... hmm.. maybe lupin is a really a woman like me. lol
