Bookworm:
Jumping in where SSS left off ---
IIRC, the potion makes Lupin sleepy so that he just curls up for a 
nap until he transforms back. That would be a different reaction 
than being "less dangerous" with his friends. If he had secretly 
taken the potion that night, I would think Sirius would notice a 
difference. 

Ravenclaw Bookworm...who hasn't forgiven Pippin for her ESE!Lupin 
theory, but can't come up with a better response than kicking her 
heels on the floor shouting, No, He can't be! I don't believe it!
