You're welcome for the email, and yes, I did get the other two on time, so no worries there. And, of course, no need to rush off a reply to me.
I'm not quite sure what's been going on with Yahoo, but the mail system was just upgraded, so maybe that will resolve things.
As for your first canon question, if I recall correctly Snape announced to all the Slytherins at the end of PoA that Lupin was a werewolf. It's hard to imagine that that news wouldn't have spread throughout the entire school in a matter of hours. And since Fred and George are insatiably curious, I think they would find out that juicy gossip very quickly.
In OotP, Sirius says of Umbridge that she passed a piece of anti-werewolf legislation "two years ago" that made it impossible for Remus to find a job (implying, in my reading, that Remus had been able to hide his condition before that and get some kind of work), so I think Remus was outed all over the place at the end of PoA. The Slytherin students probably sent owls to their parents ASAP, for one thing.
