Why did Harry Potter behave like this to Lupin? - Brown Wooden Book Shelf With Books

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Prof. Lupin turns into a werewolf and tries to kill Harry, and just a few days later Harry talks nicely with Prof. Lupin.

Why would Harry do that?



Best Answer

Because he knows that Lupin is a werewolf because of Hermione.

Hermione: He's a werewolf! That's why he's been missing classes.

Lupin: How long have you known?

Hermione: Since Professor Snape set the essay.

A werewolf can hurt his dear ones without knowing and transforming into a werewolf is very painful too. Since Harry knew he is just having a rough time being werewolf, he talks to Lupin normally.

Obviously, if someone's dear ones hurt him/her while being in trouble and he/she knows that they are not doing this intentionally, he/she would talk normally and help'em.

Hermione and Harry later in the forest after they freed Buckbeak:

Hermione: Poor Professor Lupin's having a really tough night.

Does Harry like Lupin?

Does Lupin care about Harry?

In the Harry Potter series, Remus Lupin loved his three friends wholeheartedly and felt similarly for James' son Harry. However, that doesn't mean he was the best of mentors to him, either. He felt that because of his condition, he was blessed to have any sort of friends at all, and did nothing against them.

What did Lupin do for Harry?

After this, Remus gave Harry private lessons in producing a Patronus as a means to repel Dementors, when it became apparent that he was especially vulnerable to them because, according to Lupin, Harry had "true horrors" in his past that were especially appealing to the Dementors.

Answer 2

Because a werewolf has no control over themselves if they turn.

However, some of the worst effects can be mitigated by consuming Wolfsbane Potion, which allows a werewolf to retain his or her human mind while transformed, thus freeing him or her from the worry of harming other humans or themselves. But Lupin had not taken his potion that day. So, he lost control.

Lupin was a good person and he was turned into a werewolf by Fenrir Greyback at a very young age, that wasn't his fault.

Moreover he was very close friends with Harry's parents.
