Snape is, apparently, questioning Dumbledore about Lupin's appointment as the Dark Arts Professor. This ironically mirrors the same suspicions others will express about Snape in the future. Despite the obvious things that Snape does at Dumbledore’s behest, such as making the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Wolfsbane Potion|Wolfsbane Potion]] for Lupin and giving Harry [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 24|Occlumency lessons]] in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], Snape’s [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Death Eater history]] cannot be easily forgotten, or forgiven. Snape, however, has either fully accepted the Ministry story about Black, or is using it to suit his own ends, and will express the belief that Lupin, who was fast friends with Black, the late [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/James Potter|James Potter]], and the supposedly late [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Peter Pettigrew|Peter Pettigrew]], is helping his old friend enter the castle undetected. However, Dumbledore trusts both Snape and Lupin and does notnever publicly entertain doubts regarding either man's loyalty.

Snape has known that Lupin is a Werewolf since their school days together at Hogwarts. As students, Pettigrew and Black tricked Snape into going to the tunnel leading to the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Shrieking Shack|Shrieking Shack]], where Lupin was confined during his transformations. If not for James Potter's intervention, Snape would likely have been killed. While Snape probably has agreed to conceal Lupin's condition, his Werewolf lecture while substituting for Lupin's class is an attempt to circumvent that restriction. Snape hopes a student will recognize those characteristics in Lupin and reveal them to classmates, and they, in turn, will tell their parents, who likely will pressure Dumbledore to dismiss Lupin, and actually is what happens at the end. LuckilyFor fornow, Lupin, is lucky that only Hermione discovers that he is a Werewolf, a discoveryfact she keeps concealed, and only reveals to Harry and Ron when Pettigrew is unmasked in the Shrieking Shack scene later in the book.

The large black dog that Harry sees is Sirius Black in his Animagus form, coming to watch his godson playing Quidditch, though Harry fears it is a Grim. During the game, Harry is nearly injured when the Dementors appear on the pitch. The juxtaposition ofJuxtaposing the dog andwith Harry's nearly falling to his death will reinforce Harry's mistaken belief that he is seeing a Grim, rather than a canine. Harry continues to fret about this until he sees the dog with Crookshanks. Once he has proof that the dogthis is a physical rather than spectral, his fear passes. Black later apologizes for having frightened Harry.

One unaddressed fact is that Lupin knows that Black is an unregistered Animagus. Lupin may have guessed that Black is evading the Dementors in his dog form. It is never explained why Lupin fails to mention this rather important possibility to Dumbledore, particularly after Black gained entrance into the castle; he may be harboring some lingering doubts as to Black's actual guilt, preventing him from revealing this. It is easier to guess why Snape, if he knew, might avoid tellinginforming Dumbledore this. Snape, we see in this chapter, retains a powerful grudge against Lupin for events dating back to their school days together, and in a later chapter has convinced himself that Lupin is somehow helping Sirius enter the castle. Knowing that Black can transform into a dog and evade the guards would weaken this theory substantially, indicating that Snape has either forgotten it or, more probably, never knew it. Given his later disbelief as to Scabbers' true identity, however, we believe Snape isseems simply unaware that Black is an Animagus. We also learnAlso, in the lastfinal book, "Deathly Hallows", it is revealved that Snape washas always been loyal to Dumbledore and dedicated to protecting Harry, further supporting the beliefevidence that he knew nothing about Black's Animagus ability. It would also seem likely that immediately after Black's escape and knowing his supposed intent to kill Harry, that Snape, if he knew, would have mentioned Black's ability to Dumbledore and/or the Ministry, particularly during discussions regarding Harry's protection at Hogwarts from Black. Considering that an Animagus must be registered with the Ministry of Magic or face serious legal consequences, this is a fact that Black, Peter Pettigrew, and also James Potter would have kept strictly secret about themselves. Lupin could also fear facing severe legal reprisals for having concealed knowledge about Black's ability.
