SSS again:
AHA!!  Now I see what you're getting at.  Yes, this makes sense to 
me now.  (You see?  You stick with me long enough and I'll finally 
get the point.)

SSS again:
Damn, you're good at this!  You've answered all my objections/what 
ifs and have evidence from canon to boot...all in, what, 15 
minutes?  I remembered that quote, but I had taken it to mean it was 
a gradual thing...that they'd seen him fully "werewolfy" but that 
with time he became less dangerous.  Regardless, I confess it was a 
pretty desperate objection on my part in the first place. :-)

Waving the white flag, I'm off for now! 

Siriusly Snapey Susan...who's still not buying ESE!Lupin, but who'll 
readily acknowledge now that this scene can fit in with that theory.
