Alina:

I think it would make sense for Pomfrey to be the one responsible for
administering the potion to Lupin as well, but it would still be Snape who'd
be making it, after all, I don't think Mme Pomfrey creates things like
Skele-Gro either, just stocks up on them and knows what to give to whom.
Snape would whip up batches of Wolfsbane and deliver them to Pomfrey instead
of Lupin and I also think she'd be perfect at making sure that he drinks it
no matter what.
