He drove me crazy in the pensieve scene, and it drove me BONKERS when 
he forgot his wolfsbane potion.  How ineffectual is that?

I know people who have forgotten to take their medication even though it was 
vital that they take it. Haven't you ever forgotten to buy something that you 
needed immediately or even when it is right in front of you, you don't 
remember. JKR is pointing at flaws that are done everyday. So Lupin forgot the potion 
that night, let's see why,

He sees on the map a friend that he thought was dead for 12 years, he sees 
the other friend of his go down a passage that had been a source of revulsion 
and the best time of his life. He also sees children who are going to the same 
place and he has to help them. So Lupin forgot, does that make him evil? I 
personally don't think so, it makes him human. 

 I don't know why people haven't said anything about this, but since it was a 
night of the full moon, and the Marauders used to roam about the Hogwarts 
grounds on those nights, ironic that it is repeated in Harry's time. Pettigrew is 
in rat form, Black is in his dog form, Lupin changes into the werewolf, and 
Harry conjures the stag Patronus.
