Hi,

I haven't seen this mentioned on here before, but if I'm wrong and 
it's already been discussed a bit, I apologize.  

I was just re-reading CoS and during Harry's confrontation with Tom 
Riddle, Tom says, regarding Hagrid "...in trouble every other week, 
trying to raise werewolf cubs under his bed.."  This goes against 
what I understand about werewolves.  Lupin talks about getting 
bitten - he was never a werewolf cub who would grow up to be a real 
werewolf.  It seems to me like either Tom Riddle saying this was 
either a) A FLINT, as you call them, b) just him speaking derisively 
about Hagrid, without regard for real facts, or c) a sign that we 
don't really know the story with how werewolves work.

What does everyone else think?

Thanks,
Liz
