Hi!

This is my first time posting to the site.

I was reading some of the "Mysteries" of HP, and had some of my own 
theories...

As to why the Boggart that turned into a moon didn't make Lupin turn 
into a werwolf even though HP's boggart, turned dementor, made the 
room turn cold.

My theory to this is that the Boggart takes on the Characteristics 
of the fear, but not the actual object itself.  (I.E. the Boggart 
doesn't turn into a real dementor, but still has some 
characteristics, like making the room go cold)  Therefore, Lupin's 
Boggart changes to a moon, but it still isn't the actual moon.  Only 
the actual Moon can make him transform into a werwolf.  The 
Boggart/Moon only looks like a small representation of the Moon.

Also, the room goes cold for HP when he sees a Boggart/Dementor.  
Possibly, it only goes cold from his recolection of a Dementor's 
attack, and not from the impostor Boggart itself, as no one else 
seems to be affected from the Boggart.
