Perhaps my statement was incomplete, but I can't agree that my 
statement was based on a common misconception.  

I said Snape was trying to prevent Lupin from transforming.  I should 
have said Snape was trying to prevent Lupin from transforming into a 
hideous, snarling, dangerous, wizard-killing, fully-formed werewolf.  

As there is *no way* to prevent Lupin from transforming out of his 
human form, I didn't think it necessary to spell this out; I believed 
it to be understood.

Hope that helps.
