Dòng 45:
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 agreed to conceal Lupin's condition when Lupin was hired, 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, would tell their parents, who likely would pressure Dumbledore to dismiss Lupin. At the end of this book, something similar will happen; Snape will accidentally reveal Lupin's nature to Slytherin house, and as a result Lupin will leave the school. For now, Lupin is lucky that only Hermione discovers that he is a Werewolf, a fact 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 [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Animagus|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. Juxtaposing the dog with 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 this 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 mentionwithholds this rather important possibility tofrom Dumbledore, particularly after Black gained entrance into the castle; heLupin 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 informing Dumbledore. 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. Given his later disbelief as to Scabbers' true identity, however, Snape seems simply unaware that Black is an Animagus. Also, in the final book, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 33|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], it is revealed that Snape has always been loyal to Dumbledore and dedicated to protecting Harry, further evidence 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.
