I prefer him portrayed as strong, no matter whether he's a dom or a sub. I like dom!Remus -- I like him a lot -- but it doesn't have as much to do with the fact that he's a werewolf as it does the fact that he's a strong survivor. He's capable of telling both Sirius and Molly to sit down and shut up -- and they do -- and he's capable of commanding the respect of a classroom of adolescents. Speaking as a teacher myself, I know from experience that no matter how quiet and reserved you are, the best teachers are also strong people with "dominant" personalities. I'm 5 ft. tall and weigh less than 100lbs, but I can reduce a class full of hormonally charged 18 yr olds to wide-eyed silence just by staring at them. I can make them squirm in their seats if I quietly add, "You're not listening, and that makes me unhappy."

I see Remus as someone who doesn't exert his strength and authority often because of what he is -- getting in someone's face and being confrontational isn't a good idea for a werewolf, because it could be perceived as a serious threat -- but it's there for him to call on when he deems necessary.

So basically, I love the idea of this strong but quiet man turned aggressive in bed -- that's just insanely hot to me. *G*
