Just a question here - to myself as well... Would the wolfsbane make 
him tame - and helpless as you suggest - or would it just enable him 
to *control* his murderous tendencies - and, of course, what he wants 
to do is just curl up in the office for the night, go to sleep and 
*get it over with*. Remember, he changes anyway - and when he changed 
without the stuff, in PoA, he ran amok. Sort of like a Vulcan in pon 
farr, hmm? :-) .So if all the wolfsbane did was enable self-control, 
surely he'd be able to attack the DE anyway. True, no wand - but he 
might be able to charge before his enemy used theirs.Sue B.
