Captainconk now:

I think we are missing the bigger point here.

She stated that Peter's silver hand will not be used to kill 
Lupin.

What about Greyback? Peter owes Harry a life debt, I bet a silver 
hand puncturing his chest and maybe squeezing the heart would 
help fulfill that debt, or something along that line. Doesn't 
have to play out THAT way for Peter to still thwart Greyback. 

First thing that popped in my head when I read that was, "Ok so 
he isn't going to kill Lupin, good, we don't really want him to 
hurt Lupin... wrong werewolf... Now what about that jerk 
Greyback?"

I think it's another red herring to make us think that the silver 
hand will not be used against a werewolf. It's been emphasized 
too much for me to think that it will not come into play in some 
way, and I hope it's to hurt Greyback, allot. 


Just a thought.
