SEVY L'ÉTERNEL CÉLIBATAIRE PUCEAU

November 5, 1993, at Hogwarts. With Lupin too ill to teach, Snape takes over his Defence Against the Dark Arts class. But instead of continuing the lesson on Red Caps and Grindylows, he tells the students to skip ahead to the chapter on werewolves. And he doesn’t just mention the topic. He makes sure they learn everything about werewolves, practically inviting them to connect the dots about their own professor. Snape knew exactly what he was doing. He used Lupin’s absence to plant suspicion about his biggest secret in the minds of his students.
