I did a little research and I don't think that eating
off of a silver plate or with silver utensils would
necessarily kill Lupin or harm him severly.  Perhaps the utensil since he
would have to pick it up, but according to www.werewolfregistry.net this is
what they say about werewolves and silver (and wolfsbane)What about silver
and wolfsbane?

Silver and wolfsbane are the two known substances that werewolves are
allergic to.  It has long been believed that a silver bullet is the only
device that will kill a werewolf.  In reality, you would have to use a dozen
or so silver bullets for it to be of a great effect.  Silver does make the
werewolf ill and will leave a mark on the skin, but it will only kill them
if applied in great doses.

Wolfbane, however, is a true killer for both the werewolf and the normal
human.   It comes from the flowering Aconitum branch and is also referred to
as
monkshood.  Warriors used to apply a drop of the poison to the tips of their
arrows for lethality.   Sorcerers of old were often called upon to mix
potions containing wolfsbane for people wishing to transform into a
werewolf.  The potion would have to be prepared cautiously or certain death
would have resulted.  It is believed that these potions would have crated a
hallucinogenic effect that might have caused one to believe they were indeed
shape shifting into a wolf.
