There is something that was bothering me about the whole 
Lupin/Werewolf thing, and I passed this off as maybe "not in 
J.K.R.'s world," but now that I see this, I am not too sure.

We know that in POA the book, we are told that Lupin is a werewolf, 
and that he was bitten when he was younger. My problem with this had 
always been, why did he age? Traditional gypsy lore would tell us 
that werewolves do not age from the time they are bitten. 


Nia replied:

Perhaps Remus ages because he has not yet bitten another human and 
is not yet eternally lost so to speak. I don't know if that follows 
traditional law, but if he was cursed and/or bitten as an innocent 
child and has not tasted human blood than maybe in JKR's world he 
can still be cured somehow.
