Ray:
Generally, silver is poisonous to the werewolf no matter which form he/she
is
in.  Sometimes the effect is greater on the wolf form.  This is definitely
one of those things that JKR can write any way she likes, so we'll have to
wait
for canon on it.




I don't have my book with me, so I don't know any page or chapter numbers
but while reading OoP I noticed that during one meal (I think it was the
first at Grimmauld Place - or at least somewhere in the beginning) it said
that they had silver goblets. And Lupin is sitting at the table with them.
Of course, his could be made of a different material but this at least shows
that he can be close to silver without problems.
