Silver Lupin

Hi!

From: "Catlady (Rita Prince Winston)"
I believe that JKR answered that silver is not especially dangerous to
Potterverse werewolves in Harry's first dinner at 12 Grimmauld Place.
[...] Lupin, who had been about to take a sip of wine, lowered his
goblet slowly, looking wary." JKR is telling us that Lupin has no
problem drinking from a silver goblet; holding it doesn't burn his
hand as in so many fanfics; it doesn't do special magical harm to him.

Anatol:
I don't think that proves anything. If I'm not mistaken you have to
shoot the silver through the werewolve's heart (or another part of his
body), the mere touch would not harm him. Though some fictions might
have the mere touch harm him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werewolf),
*that* bit might have been altered in the Potterverse.
