  If (?) Greyback was captured in the Battle of Hogwarts (someone did 
petrify him), then it follows that Lupin's assignment may be altered. 
Easier perhaps? I don't find anything in the book that states whether 
Greybeck was caught or or not, but if he's been captured that the 
werewolves might become more receptive to Lupin's message, and maybe 
Lupin will have a safer life...eventually, anyway.  Like Afro-American 
civil rights leader's lives today as compared with their lives fifty or 
so  years ago.
