Montavilla47:
I just had to clip this because it suddenly struck me as hilarious the way
that Snape is screaming "Werewolf!  Werewolf!" in the Shrieking Shack and
everyone (including me) is thinking, "Oh, how speciest of him!  Lupin 
can't help his furry little problem!"

Right.  Lupin can't help it, but that doesn't change the fact that he's about 
to transform into one.

Poor Snape.  He's stuck in a room with a ticking time bomb, and Hermione's
sitting there, going, "Professor... shouldn't we take the time to listen to this
terribly long story about your teenage years?"
