Lyra:
I'm a Lupin fan, but this one fact has always bothered me about him. 
If your sanity, and the safety of those around you depends on you 
taking a medication, how could you possibly "forget" to take it? 
(OK, I've never been dependent on a medication, so I can't speak 
from experience, but it seems like the more important the medicine 
is, the more effort you'd put into making sure you took it). And I 
certainly don't think there's any reason to try to pin this one on 
Snape. Lupin is, presumably, an adult who is responsible for making 
sure he's taken the medication he needs, and if he has to go down to 
the dungeons to check on, so be it. Yes, he got carried away by the 
moment, presumably, but (since I can't buy ESELupin) neglecting the 
potion was certainly stupid and dangerous on his part.


Alla:

I have to take certain type of medication every day and let me tell 
you - you absolutely CAN forget about it. (Granted, my life is not 
threatened if I forget about it, but it is not good for me either to 
forget on the regular basis)

It WAS dangerous what Remus did, but he just discovered that one of 
his friends whom he believed to be dead for twelve years - can be 
alive. He also discovered that another one of his friends,whom he 
believed to be a traitor for twelve years  may not be one.

I'd say he was in a very interesting state of mind and it is quite 
possible that taking a potion was the last thing on his mind.

Just my opinion,

Alla
