Julia here:
I don't know if it is possible but when it comes to warewolves in 
Britain I think that there have to be more than one. And maybe Remus 
knows a couple of people like him? And maybe he transforms with them 
so that they are not so dangerous to normal people - just like when 
he was with marauders!
When thinking about it I wonder who makes now the Potion for 
Remus... is it still Snape or there are other people who can manage 
it? What about others like Lupin? Will we meet other werewolves in 
the books? How do they live?
Considering Remus' feeling of guilt... I think it is really possible 
that he could have killed someone in the past ... and i think that 
even if it wasn't someone from the Order Lupin would still feel 
extremely guilty about it... But I must say that I haven't seen 
anything in his behaviour which would tell me that he really has 
some kind of terrifying secret... maybe I have to re-read POA?
