Amber:
  
Yes, Hermione did learn how to make the polyjuice postion at 12, 
but it has been stated many times that she is a very gifted 
student.  This is not something that most 12 yr olds would be able 
to do.  Slughorn even said that it was not expected of them to do 
until Newt level because of its difficulty.  Also, Lupin has said, 
he is not good at potions, others have said this as well.  While I 
do acknowledge that he does have a lot of free time to attempt it, 
the full moon does come once a month.  This would make it very hard 
to do if it takes awhile to make.  As JKR hasn't said exactly what 
must be done to make this, we have no way of knowing if there are 
certain steps to take at different times.  Just thought I would put 
my two cents into the mix!
