Angel: 

It  arouses me a lot of curiosity when Lupin told Harry in the Chapter 
¡§Very  Frosty Christmas¡¨ (don¡¦t have to book right now to
turn to the 
page,  sorry¡K) that in fact his father ¡§had offered¡¨
Greyback, the 
wicked  werewolf, to bit the little boy Lupin and turned the latter to 
be one of  them. 

Under what circumstances would a father lead his own son for  such a 
miserable life? I could not resist feeling resented and irritated  for 
Lupin¡¦s father when I was reading. I just can¡¦t imagine a
good  reason 
that back up his unforgivable act. Do you come up with any  theories?

I think you may have misunderstood the passage.   Lupin said that  his father 
had offended Greyback.  And as revenge on Lupin's father,  Greyback bit 
Lupin.   Admittedly, it would not be wise to offend  someone with Greyback's 
reputation.  But I don't think Lupin's father  intentionally handed him over.
