Fawkes(me): I would like to see the canon where they say hagrid
raises werewolf cubs under his bed......
Kneasy: For example, he is seemingly unaffected by Dementors. Why?

Fawkes: They never say he isnt effected. Of course he is effected,
and he is also a fully trained wizard who has already been a member
of the Order. You think he wouldnt know the Patronus? the patronus
is why he wasnt effected on the train, and for the scene with all
the dementors at the end of PoA: he wasnt there- he was in the woods
as a werewolf.

Fawkes: we have been over this many a time. Lupin is in his office
while the entire scene with Padfoot on the school grounds takes
place. He is looking at the map and sees Sirius' name on it. First
he wants to go and get sirius, however he notices a fifth member
with them: Peter. Without even thinking he knows what is going on
and has to get there to find out the entire story w/o peter or
sirius being hurt to the point where they cannot defend themselves.
That simple.

thing to me.
Fawkes: almost every name given represents the character being
portrayed ast that time. Hence, lupin is given his name for being a
werewolf in the story. You are taking it way too far to suspect his
parents named him when really: JKR did so just cool it with that
one, thanks.
