He must have had the shock of his life.  But the fact still remains he came 
within a inch of killing Harry, Ron, Hermione, Snape, Sirius and Peter.  I feel 
very sorry for Lupin, he's a competent teacher, a nice guy, and he doesn't 
deserve this lycanthropy crap.  But I'm afraid the bare bones of the matter is, 
under the full moon, being human doesn't cut it.  And why didn't he floo 
someone and ask for help before tearing out there? How was he going to protect 
Harry and his friends by himself from Sirius or Peter or whoever the betrayer is 
when he's hours away from becoming a werewolf? I understand that Lupin 
panicked, but the fact remains that it was extremely careless.
