  Me(Linda):
    In chapter 14 of PoA, when Snape *paged* Lupin via a fire, he 
used a "glittering powder". Floo powder actually transports a person 
from one location to another and seems to need to be instigated by 
the wizard doing the traveling. Snape must have used something 
different to call Lupin as he didn't go anywhere. However, Lupin 
could have used  Floo powder to get to Snape's location as I doubt 
Snape could have made him come against his will. I agree that travel 
by Floo powder is probably possible from fire to fire within the 
castle walls.I would think that there is a different powder for 
making a *telephone call* by fire as well. I wonder how many 
different powders there are that are used with fires. Hmmmmmmm.
