First of all Remus is dangerous. There's no telling when he will 
forget to take his potion, except for the narrative certainty that it 
will be at absolutely the wrong time. <g> 

But more importantly, Remus isn't  *always*  kind. I really 
wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of him. He might send a 
piece of chewing gum flying up my nose or humiliate me 
Snape-boggart fashion.

Which makes me wonder... it would be interesting, wouldn't it, if it 
turned out that Remus really was in on the you-know-what? He 
never really said that he wasn't, did he? And Snape's suspicions, 
while often overblown, are seldom all-together off the mark 
either.
