SSSusan:
Oh, but he didn't put his foot down (that we know of).  Lupin chose 
to *resign* once the news "slipped" that he was a werewolf, because 
he understood that parents would not want somebody like him teaching 
their children.

Now, it *is* interesting to note that the line used in the movie --
 "DD has already risked enough on my behalf" -- does not occur in the 
book. So, technically, it's possible that, had Lupin not resigned, DD 
would have put his foot down.

What do people think?  Would DD have done, had Lupin not volunteered 
to go?
