<<I don't have my books with me at my dorm, but as far as I remember, Lupin didn't actually *have* the potion.  Isn't that why Snape stopped in Lupin's office and saw the Marauder's Map?  To deliver the wolfsbane?  I don't see why Snape would merely stop in to see if Lupin drank it, since Snape isn't very fond of Remus and also would have no reason to suspect that he had forgotten to drink it.  So, couldn't it be that Remus saw Peter's name on the map, but couldn't wait around for Snape to show up because there was the chance that at that *very* moment, Harry and company were in mortal danger?>>

Vickey: 

All I'm going to say is this...Snape did come to see Lupin because he hadn't taken his potion that night, but who says that Lupin had to wait for Snape to bring it to him?  Lupin could have gone to the dungeons himself to get it.  He had been taking it for at least 9 months during POA...it would have been a routine and I doubt that Snape always delivered it, but as for Lupin, it is possible, however out of character, that he forgot it in his disbelief at what he saw on the map.  As for telling DD, remember this, DD was with Fudge and McNair...what do you think would have happened to Sirius then?
