Dicentra had brought up the point that Snape took the invisibility cloak in 
order to escape Wearwolf Lupin.
Christi then pointed out:
     I'm not sure that an invisibility cloak would be adequate           
protection from Lupin in wolf form. Sure, he might not be able to      see 
Snape, but wouldn't wolfie be able to smell him? Especially      as Snape 
does not seem fond of washing his hair?

And I have to agree. Wolves *do* have a better sense of smell than humans. 
They can smell things that most humans don't even *think* has a smell to 
begin with. Dogs have been trained to detect thousands of varrious scents 
from large amounts of mint ink, to minute amounts of drugs, to food (big 
surprise there huh?) to humans that have passed days ago. And the dogs 
chosen for those jobs are not always derivitives of the hound breeds.
