<p>Here is the problem I have with any and all 'Silver Hand' theories.
The hand is surely silver colored, but there is nothing in the books
that would make us think that Peter's hand is made out of the metal
Silver.

Betty/SilverStag:
<p>There's also nothing that definitely states that silver effects 
werewolves in the Potterverse.  No mention is made of what kind of goblet 
Snape uses to give the wolfsbane to Lupin.
"    "Come in," called Lupin.

    The door opened, and in came Snape. He was carrying a goblet,
which was smoking faintly, and stopped at the sight of Harry,
his black eyes narrowing."
We know they use golden goblets for feasts.  Does anyone remember a mention 
of any other day where goblets are described in detail?

There is also no mention that Lupin uses a different goblet than the other 
presumably silver ones at the table at Grimmauld place.
"Sirius," said Mundungus, who did not appear to have paid any attention to 
the
conversation, but had been closely examining an empty goblet. "This solid
silver, mate?"

"Yes," said Sirius, surveying it with distaste. "Finest fifteenth
century goblin-wrought silver, embossed with the Black family crest."
.....

"The atmosphere in the room changed with the rapidity Harry associated with 
the arrival of Dementors. Where seconds before it had been sleepily relaxed, 
it was now alert, even tense. A frisson had gone around the table at the 
mention of Voldemort's name. Lupin, who had been about to take a sip of 
wine, lowered his goblet slowly, looking wary."

It is for this reason that I've never bought the silver hand = death to 
Lupin theories floating around. Wouldn't Harry notice if one person used 
something different than everyone else for drinking?

My 2 knuts and they probably need to be polished.
