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?

not. > The thrust of JKRs sympathy crusade is that he is still

by his illness is to > accept that he may no longer be human.
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.

it?
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.
