Culpeper, Remus and Peter

The HP fandom has been speculating wildly about the final fates of 
the two remaining 'Marauders', and I thought I'd add a little more 
wood to the fire in the form of probably irrelevant information. 
First, though, if you're of the fanfic-writing persuasion, the 
complete text of Nicholas Culpeper's Complete Herbal is online at 
http://www.bibliomania.com/2/1/66/113/frameset.html. Brilliant 
resource for Potions recipes.

Anyway, here's what Culpeper says about lupines (incidentally, the 
flowers were named after wolves because they flourished in the 
wilderness and were thought to rob the soil of nutrients like 
predators): 
"Lupines, ease the pains of the spleen, *kill worms and cast them 
out* [emphasis mine]: outwardly, they cleanse filthy ulcers, and 
gangrenes, help scabs, itch, and inflammations."

Just thought I'd share.
