Carolyn:
It's an interesting theory, but that's not how it works with the 
trio, is it? Although Harry and Ron share a dorm, they don't hang out 
as a close group with Neville, Dean and Seamus, do they ? They are 
friends, and in the same house, but not fellow-conspirators.

Interesting thought though, that Dumbledore not only admitted a 
werewolf to the school, but allowed him to share a room with three 
unsuspecting boys. He and Poppy Pomfrey would have to be really 
accurate predicting Lupin's werewolf phases wouldn't they, or there 
could have been a tragic accident or two.
