>That makes me wonder about two things (not for the first time): 
>1) Why didn't Snape bring the Wolfsbane potion to the Shack, if only 
for his own safety? I'm sure there are charms to avoid spilling 
liquid from a cup. 
>2) is tying up a werewolf sufficient to keep it in check?
>And I still don't see why he'd have to *drag* Lupin if he could have 
levitated him.<

Betsy:
As to Snape dragging Lupin - he dragged Lupin for the same reason 
Sirius knocked Snapes head against the roof of the tunnel when they 
were leaving the shack.  These guys do not like each other.  At all.  
(Though I think Lupin may have been trying to extend an olive branch 
to Snape throughout PoA.)

In answer to question number 2 - I doubt it.  And to question number 
1 - I think Snape was so eager to catch Lupin in wrong doing and 
*finally* prove to the headmaster that *all* of the Mauraders were 
untrustworthy he forgot (as Lupin did) about the whole werewolf 
thing.  Which explains the tying of Lupin even though that wouldn't 
necessarily restrain a werewolf.  (Though they were magical ropes, so 
there may have been some extra restraint built into them.)
