I don't usually like superpowered Remus but I do think his immune system would have been altered in some way when it was compromised by the lycanthropy. Poor kid has to get some relief.

I can imagine prefects' meetings being torturous, especially in fifth year. I do think that was a cruel decision. I would have taken the risk and given it to James to see if it made him grow up.

Thanks for the comment :)
