Finwitch:

I've just rereading POA. In The Chapter titled the Servant of Lord 
Voldemort - there's something really intriquing. Knowing things from 
later books help reinterpretting things...

Some things Snape says: You forgot your Potion tonight... (then there's 
all that not listening and never mind that now) All I have to do is 
call the Dementors as we come out the Willow. ..They'll be pleased 
enough to give you a little Kiss.. (Black's ranting about the rat 
again, but here's the worst part..).. 'Come on, all of you,' he 
said... 'I'll drag the werewolf. Perhaps the Dementors will have a kiss 
for him, too'.

It wasn't his taking Black to be kissed, nor his wish for Lupin to 
recieve the Kiss that shocked me. No. It was his intent to drag Lupin 
out of the Willow - fully aware that he had NOT taken his potion, and 
considering how so many potion ingredients need to be picked on full 
moon, I'd say he *also* knew that. In other words, he's about to set a 
werewolf on the students -- as I don't think those bounds would have 
held after his transform... and Snape shows no regret about this, 
either...

I just wished that Lupin would have recalled the MOON and well - er - 
transfigured Snape into a rat-cage, sent the kids with the rat back to 
the castle and stayed in the shack, but no deal. What was the *matter* 
with Lupin in particular? I understand that Sirius couldn't keep much 
track of time but Remus Lupin forgetting it's full Moon??? I'm inclined 
to see a *possible* blame Snape on that - he may have cast a non-verbal 
obliviate on Lupin, put something on the potion or maybe this was some 
sort of side-effect he never told Lupin about, but, of course, no proof 
on that...

It's also a bit wonder how Snape came out of being 'knocked out' all by 
himself. Wonder if he was just pretending he *was* knocked out?
