noe now:

But the test was about how RECOGNIZE a werewolf, not about how HANDLE 
one. This had been discussed before, I'm sure. We don't now how to 
stop a werewolf (at least in POA, not information about spells or 
similar are given, apart of calming the wolf down by an animagi) If 
it were easily done (a stunning spell, for example), it would not be 
such a fuss about werewolves being so dangerous and bla bla.

noe again:

I hope Rowling will tell us! But I'm not so sure Snape *knew* about 
Lupin. The only canon we have says that Snape -knowing his lot- 
recognized sucessfully the first steps of Remus' transformation as 
those of a werewolf, when he get a glimse of it while being pulled 
out by James.
After all, why would Snape suspect? As werewolves were regarded, 
*who* would let one be enroled in Hogwarts?
