Finwitch:

You know-- Moon's *phace* has to do with MOON's movement. Moon-rise 
and moon-set (just like the same for the Sun) - is Earth's movement.

The thing- about Moon not being up yet- yes, well - Lupin wasn't 
*bitten* at Hogwarts or the Shrieking Shack. Moon wasn't up where he 
had been bitten until the very unconvenient moment.
