Neri:
The problem is that Snape makes in the Shrieking Shack several
comments that smell of anti-werewolf bigotry: "Lupin
 a tame werewolf"
(sarcastically describing Dumbledore's position, although I don't
believe Dumbledore used that expression), "You, Potter, and Weasley
are out-of-bounds, in the company of a convicted murderer and a
werewolf" (as if merely being a werewolf is equivalent to being a
convicted murderer), "I'll drag the werewolf" (as if Lupin doesn't
have a name anymore) and "Don't ask me to fathom the way a werewolf's
mind works" (as if a werewolf's mind isn't human or rational). If it
will be found that Snape was correct in his suspicions in the
Shrieking Shack, JKR will appear as endorsing his bigotry.
