Valky replies:

Alchemy and the Chymical Wedding are not my first discipline, by any 
means, so naturally there are much more accurate descriptions of 
Lupin as a symbolic alchemical figure in the books by others. 
As I understand it the grey state is a pinnacle vibration of your 
basic human form. Meaning he's a very very good human, but because 
he is only human he is flawed in spite of his benevolence, as humans 
are. That's what his werewolf affliction represents. Better 
explanations are around if you're interested in a link email me 
offlist.
