Right, I was making that staement in reference to my other posts on this 
topic. :) Lupin explains to HHR how painful the transformations had been when 
he was younger and up until the discovery of the wolfsbane potion- biting 
himself, clawing at himself, etc.
So I was just curious as to why, other than his statement about being a poor 
potion maker, hadn't he been taking the potion since its discovery. 

I would think something that made life so much easier for Lupin would be 
something that he would have *learned* no matter how difficult the potion....
