It's possible that the Wolfsbane potion could be poisonous if not made
exactly right-- the main ingredient being wolfsbane or aconitum
luparia, which like most aconites is fatally toxic.  It would explain
why Lupin would be hesitant to experiment-- and why other werewolves
are wary of trying it. Only a real master could be trusted to handle
it-- like fugu!
