Lupin has been a werewolf his entire life.  HOW could he have 
forgotten to take the potion on this very critical night?  The guy 
has to have the lunar calendar emblazed on his memory.  Then he 
starts TALKING ABOUT THE POTION to Harry & co while they are down in 
the shack, and he never says "shoot!  I forgot to take my potion!"  
Then Snape SHOWS UP AND REMINDS HIM he hasn't taken the potion, and 
still it doesn't sink in.  Instead, Lupin volunteers to be the one 
they chain Peter to, which is a VERY stupid idea.

Then there is all that nonsense with the dementors: why do they show 
up EXACTLY after Lupin leaves?  And when they DO show up, why do they 
try to kill Harry?  The simplest answer is that Lupin told them to.

What I meant was that IF I'm correct and Lupin IS evil, then why did 
he prevent Harry from crossing the veil?  It's a bit of a problem 
with the ESE!Lupin theory, and it has a few explanations, but I've 
never found any of them very convincing.
