I've seen some discussion about how he makes the "werewolves as a metaphor for AIDS" thing really disturbing (which I happen to agree with). That's about it.

[alexi_lupin]

I think that would be more disturbing if he were the only werewolf we see.

[sarillia]

I can see that argument. I think some people are just more sensitive to these sorts of implications and I'm one of them.

But there have been men who have intentionally passed along AIDS to sex partners without disclosure, so it's not unrealistic. Obviously, Lupin represents the majority of people with AIDS who work hard to keep it under control and are careful about not passing it along, but I think it's kind of interesting to also depict the darker side of things as well.

:O haven't heard that. Any links explaining that theory?

[sarillia]

I've been trying to find a transcript or at least a press clipping for the interview where JKR said that she meant werewolves as a metaphor for how people respond to HIV, but all I can find is wikis stating that she said it connected to broken links. So you can probably take my word for it as easily as theirs. I did find a blog post discussing the metaphor.
