Commentary

Notes

Rowling has said that Lupin's struggles with lycanthropy are a metaphor for society's feelings towards people with disabilities or illnesses (Scot). Employment discrimination is a specific challenge faced by people with disabilities, and it was legal in the UK until the implementation of the Disability Discrimination Act of 1995 (source: Wikipedia). -BB
