SSSusan:
This may be a stupid thought, but isn't it possible that JKR was 
just trying to keep the information from the reader that it was the 
moon for a time?  So that we wouldn't guess too early that Lupin was 
a werewolf?

Also, presumably Lupin's boggart was fairly small -- at least as 
compared to something like Harry's dementor!boggart -- so if 
students weren't standing right beside Lupin, maybe they only saw 
the general shape & color?
