I posted something on that a while ago (half-sleeping, I think, cause I don't know 
where it went ;)), just pointing out that the first time Lupin fights off his boggart, he 
says the riddikulus almost sleepily. Not that I think getting sleepy has much to do 
with transforming into a werewolf, but he didn't exactly say it casually, and I think it 
fits with what you said - it did have *some* effect, but he fought it off too soon.
