Sorry that was my fault.  He does change to a werewolf under the 
wolfsbane potion but he is able to control himself.  That is my 
fault. I guess our other options are the 'full' moon occurs at a 
specific point in time or it's an inconsistency.  My revised theory 
is now the inconsistency.  If the moon was not full when it rose and 
Lupin only transformed once it was full, why would he remain a 
werewolf when the moon was no longer completely full.  It seems that 
the three day period is the time during which the moon appears full 
(i. e. the night before, the night of, and the night after the full 
moon)
