Ah, feel free to hijack my journal as much as you like. That's what I post stuff for.
I fully agree on the werewolf. It was ridiculous. I could have lived (though grudgingly) with a completely not-wolflike looking monster if only it looked, well, more like a scary monster and not like a sad computer-generated something.
As the the cane, I have posted a (not quite serious) theory once, which resulted in some very scary discussions here. The cardigan was all wrong; I wanted robes, too. Shabby, patched robes that would make him look poor and skinny and underfed.
As I said in the post, I think that the minor characters who get mentioned will fulfil some more important roles in future. But, as I likewise said, these theories are completely random and not absolutely canon-founded. But there must be a Seer in Harry's generation. Too much effort has been put into establishing prophecies as important.
I don't think Lupin is allergic to silver. For no particular reason, simply because - as you said - he seems to encounter it on a fairly regular basis. There's still the matter of Peter's hand, but using that hand against Remus would be quite tacky, from a literary point of view.
Plus, I've got a WIP, where the silver theory is exploited, and I need either to finish the fic before Rowling says that silver hurts werewolves or I'll end up writing an AU.
Harry being a Metamorhagus would give him yet another unique talent, and he's already 'blessed' with several. I dunno... I'm not sure what to think about the whole Metamorphagus business, though, and I don't really care either way.
Lupin could have taken so many of her lines! Adapted, of course, and damn, but I wanted him to.

I'm with you on that one :-)
