I don't think I'd forbid him to teach, but I'd be EXTREMELY sure that 
SOMEONE would have absolute responsibilty for giving him that potion. Make 
it impossible for him to forget, maybe devise a spell or something that 
MAKES him take it, or flashes a big light at Snape or McGonagall or 
something going "LOOK GO GET HIM AND GIVE HIM HIS POTION NOW."  He's fine 
if he takes his meds.

Actually I take back Snape and McGonagall, they go outside Hogwarts, and 
may not be available. POMFREY is the one responsible. She wouldn't trust a 
KID to remember their meds, she should be responsible for making sure such 
a VITAL medicine was taken. Its in the NURSE JOB DESCRIPTION.

Then I'd have no problem with him teaching. As long as there's someone 
BESIDES Lupin responsible as well. Because when he's NOT in wolf-form, he 
sometimes gets distracted. Also I'd want a safer place than the Whomping 
WIllow and Shrieking Shack to HOLD HIM. (pardon the insert of another show) 
but something like the cage they rigged for OZ on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 
Probably IN Pomfrey's domain.
