Actually, Sirius and James chose to be large animals so they could help control Remus when he wolfed out. It makes sense that Padfoot would throw himself at Moony, and that they would fight. Padfoot can hold his own.
Yeah, but why was Moony fighting BACK? That's what I don't get. The whole point was, werewolves don't attack other animals, just people. Yeah, he was trying to protect the kids, but still, it bothered me.
It's in the book. Chapter 21: "As the werewolf wrenched itself free of the manacle binding it, the dog seized it about the neck and pulled it backward, away from Ron and Pettigrew. They were locked, jaw to jaw, claws ripping at each other--
Harry stood, transfixed by the sight, too intent upon the battle to notice anything else."
Later on the same page: "Black was bleeding; there were gashes across his muzzle and back..."
Rowling wrote that they did fight, that Moony injured Padfoot. This contradicts what she said in chapter 18, yes, but the film fight was canonically correct.
Okay, I forgot that. So it sounds like he attacked the werewolf to stop him from hurting the others, and Lupin only fought back because he was attacked first.

Okay. NEVER MIND about that part.

Oh, and not-Remus was very good.
