This is very well-done! It's a touchy subject but you're doing fine with it. You're able to separate Harry the Human from Harry the Wolf and make it clear that while each is a part of the whole, Harry is SO not like Grayback in that he has a conscience. I'd have to say that's Remus' influence, yeah? EXCELLENT!

Thanks for the review!
Yeah, I've always wondered since Remus could recognize his friends to an extent in their Animagus forms, couldn't he recognize his girlfriend (boyfriend for those who prefer slash) in some way? But as with all creatures, there are some instincts that can't be denied. Which instincts, I'm still sorting that out myself. I hope to update soon now that school is over the time being. :D
