Goddlefrood of the immediate present:

The entire school faculty was being irresponsible is what I meant, 
sorry if it was unclear to anyoine. The adults at the school most 
likely knew of Lupin's condition as Dumbeldore would have told 
them, even if his condition was not widely and well known to the 
WW in general.

It does seem that his lycanthropy was not known to all in the WW 
otherwise it appears unlikely that the parent body would be as 
outraged as we have been informed they were.

Really then it all comes back to Dumbledore's initial decision 
to take Remus on as a teacher. Dumbledore had the responsibility 
for that decision and all that flowed from Remus's appointment 
is his doing.

Following that logic it then would suggest that neither 
Remus nor Lupin could be blamed entirely for what happened, 
as ultimately the Supreme Mugwump had struck again.
