We all love Lupin because he was a nice cuddly Werewolf. He taught the 
students all they needed to know about hinkypunks and grindylows. But it just 
occured to me durring my Harry Potter reading time, why would these be 
considered dark creatures? Just cause they are partialy ferocious, dangerous 
creatures. But you don't see them having a class teaching them how to throw a 
stick to get a dog to leave you alone.


Me:

The Harry Potter Lexicon on dark creatures:

Dark Creatures 
Dark creatures differ from other animals in several important ways: 
   they are magical in nature 
   they often do not have a complete life cycle the way a typical animal would but exist simply as a physical extension of an evil intention 
   they seek actively to harm, often for no other reason than that's what it does (i.e. not for reasons of sustaining it's own life)
