>However, I disagree that what occured that night in the
Shrieking Shack would ever happen again. The circumstances
under which Lupin forgot to take his potion (the only time he
forgot that year) were extreme - he was concerned for
the children's safety and most likely highly confused to see
Wormtail on the map.<
Pippin:
"As long as I take [the potion] in the week preceding the full
moon, I keep my mind when I transform...."
-PoA Ch 18
Lupin drinks his potion a week before his transformation in
chapter 8, and it seems only one dose is mandatory. ("I made an
entire cauldronful," Snape continued, "if you need more."
"I should probably take some again tomorrow")
So Lupin not only didn't take his potion the night of the Shack, but
for six preceding nights--what was he supposed to be upset
about then?
Pippin
who thinks Lupin did take his potion, and was in his right-but
-ever-so-evil mind when he transformed.
