>>I think you have a good point. The first time we see Lupin taking
the potion, Snape brings it to him. And that couldn't have been the
first time Lupin took the potoin at Hogwarts. But look at this
quote:

PoA, chpt 19, p358 (paperback)
"I've just been to your office, Lupin. You forgot to take your
potion tonight, so I took a gobletful along." <<

HunterGreen:
Snape might have been making sure that Lupin didn't forget to take 
it, that's why he took it upon himself to *walk* it to Lupin's 
office. I never got the impression that that was their system. 
There's a post back in the archives somewhere about Lupin being in 
denial about his condition, (does anyone know what I'm talking 
about?), and that's why Snape ends up having to bring the potion to 
his office for him, since Lupin doesn't think its as important as he 
should (I'm afraid *I* can't back that up though, but the post layed 
it out really well).
In any case, he still leaves the shack during the full moon when he 
knows he hasn't taken the potion.
