Potioncat:
I was merely pointing out reasons why Lupin might not have taken
Potions. I still maintain there is nothing in canon that tells us
or even hints as to whether he took Potions. If you can ask for
canon to determine Snape's true skill in potions, I can ask for
canon to determine which classes Lupin took.

Snow:

I believe there may be evidence of both the fact that Lupin, at the 
very least, attempted potions class and the fact that Lupin 
acknowledges Snape's superiority in Potions:

POA Flight of the Fat Lady- "Professor Snape has very kindly 
concocted a potion for me," he said. "I have never been much of a 
potion-brewer and this one is particularly complex." 

Hope it helps in your discussion.
