His teaching style, building confidence with knowledge with kindness and humour, made his classes the most popular PA7. To assist Harry with the dementors, Remus Lupin taught him the Patronus Charm , working with Harry one-on-one to help him develop the skills necessary to use this difficult spell PA He spent time with Harry, becoming a mentor and a friend.
But racing to the rescue, when the map showed Sirius Black dragging Ron and Peter into the Whomping Willow with Hermione and Harry in pursuit, Remus had forgotten the Wolfsbane Potion , so that when he later transformed he was subject to uncontrolled werewolf dementia.
As they spend time together working for the Order, Lupin and Tonks begin to develop a romantic relationship. Lupin resists, worried that he would be condemning her to a life as an outcast WW. He eventually relents, and he and Tonks are married in the summer of in a private ceremony DH1. Even after they are married, Lupin struggles with the consequences of the decision. Tonks becomes pregnant, making the situation even more difficult for him, worrying that the baby will be a werewolf too.
Harry tells him off, calling him a coward for abandoning his family, and Lupin storms out DH In the end, Lupin stays with Tonks. In the final climactic Battle of Hogwarts , Lupin joins the fray against the Death Eaters , leaving Tonks and baby Teddy with her mother. Their son Teddy is raised by his grandmother Andromeda and by his godfather Harry Potter, who knows well what it is like to be orphaned.
His parents were worried that Remus would not be able to attend Hogwarts due to the severity of his monthly transformations, but headteacher Albus Dumbledore came to their house when Remus was eleven to explain the special arrangements that had been made to allow Remus and the other students to be safe.

Lupin derives from midth century Latin lupinus "wolf-like" , which itself comes from the Latin word lupus "wolf" Oxford English Dictionary. A lupin is also a common flowering plant Wikipedia.

Remus openly discusses this during the Half-Blood Prince , revealing how the savage beast nipped him when he was young in order to turn the wizarding world against him. It works, too, with the majority shunning him. We wouldn't, though, because we think he's a pretty standup guy for the most part. Snape and Remus were at Hogwarts together, with both students joining in September Yet Lupin very nearly kills the future Potions Master during their time at the castle.
This, really, is the work of Sirius. Knowing that Snape is interested in where Lupin goes every full moon, the Gryffindor pupil tries to trick his enemy into encountering the werewolf fully transformed in the Shrieking Shack. Fortunately, this fails at the last minute with James Potter coming to the rescue. But it's certainly something Severus never forgets Harry is disgruntled in the Order of the Phoenix book when Hermione and Ron are made prefects at Hogwarts.
After all he's been through, with continuously battling Lord Voldemort and watching Cedric Diggory die right in front of his very eyes, the Boy Who Lived has every right to feel aggrieved. He does his best to mask his mood during celebrations but Lupin lifts his spirits during a sweet, personal conversation.
Remus reveals that while he himself was made a prefect, Sirius and James weren't given the honor due to the fact they could never stay out of trouble. This makes Harry feel slightly better as a result and we can't say we're surprised. Fred and George Weasley aside, did Hogwarts ever have such a big pair of mischief-makers? In the Prisoner of Azkaban movie, fans get to see Remus teaching two things.
The first is Boggarts, bringing about a memorable scene that sees Neville Longbottom force Snape into his grandmother's clothes. And the second is the Patronus Charm, a spell used to repel Dementors. However, he does far more than this during the source material.
Remus educates his pupils on creatures such as Hinkypunks, Red Caps, Kappas, Grindylows, Vampires, Werewolves, and Nocturnal beasts, enhancing their knowledge of the magical world in the process. He's widely considered as the best Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher the school has had but that doesn't stop him from resigning after just a year in the role. Lupin struggles for years and years after leaving Hogwarts, with many members of the wizarding community shunning him because of his condition.
Remus was unusually perceptive, with an uncanny ability to guess the thoughts of those around him. This is especially clear in his conversations with Harry, such as his intuiting that Harry was afraid that he thought he couldn't handle working with the boggart.
He was a gifted teacher, with a rare flair for his subject and a profound understanding of his pupils. He was, as ever, drawn to the underdog, and Neville Longbottom especially benefitted from his wisdom and encouragement. True to being a Gryffindor, Lupin was quite courageous. Nonetheless, he suffered deep-seated feelings of shame and fear of rejection which, in certain situations, led him to consider backing down.
His greatest weakness was that, in his desperate longing to belong and be liked, he was neither as brave or honest as he should have been at times. Remus once claimed that he was cowardly, because he was unable to bring himself to tell Dumbledore that James, Sirius and Peter were Animagi, as it would have meant that he had betrayed Dumbledore's trust, which meant everything to him.
His love of James and Sirius also led him to not do anything to stop their bullying other students, a most notable example being when Snape was constantly bullied by his friends, but Remus was terrified of losing them and therefore did nothing to stop the bullying, something that he later admits to regret.
Perhaps the most critical example of this was his temptation to join Harry, Ron and Hermione on Dumbledore's mission and abandon his wife and unborn son because he was afraid that her family would be ashamed of him being a werewolf.
However, ultimately he came to his senses. He also has been noted to dislike the form of his Patronus as it takes the shape of a wolf. Lupin is disgusted by all things wolfish as they remind him of his condition, and due to this has been known to deliberately cast a non-corporeal patronus, particularly when in the company of others, for fear it would give him away as a werewolf.
His Boggart is a full moon, possibly reflecting on an apparent terror of transforming near humans. This terror may stem from the time where Severus Snape was nearly bitten by him in his werewolf form. Remus was an accomplished and skillful wizard with extensive knowledge of Dark creatures. Harry Potter and his friends also commented that he was the best D. The extent of Remus' relationship with his family is unknown, aside from how adored he was by his parents.
During Remus' youth, his father offended Fenrir Greyback, causing Greyback to attack Remus, when he was merely four years old. Lupin are known to have been concerned over Remus being a werewolf, believing that this condition meant their son would be unable to attend Hogwarts. However, this was proven untrue. Remus, so often melancholy and lonely, was first amused, then impressed, then seriously smitten by the young witch. He had never fallen in love before.
If it had happened in peacetime, Remus would have simply taken himself off to a new place and a new job, so that he did not have to endure the pain of watching Tonks fall in love with a handsome, young wizard in the Auror office, which was what he expected to happen.
However, this was war; they were both needed in the Order of the Phoenix, and nobody knew what the next day would bring. Remus felt justified in remaining exactly where he was, keeping his feelings to himself but secretly rejoicing every time somebody paired him with Tonks on some overnight mission.
It had never occurred to Remus that Tonks could return his feelings because he had become so used to considering himself unclean and unworthy. Before he could stop himself, Remus had replied bitterly that he supposed she had fallen for his old friend " He always got the women. He had always known that he could not marry and run the risk of passing on his painful, shameful condition.
Wiser than Remus, she was sure that he loved her, but that he was refusing to admit it out of mistaken nobility. However, he avoided working with her, barely talked to her, and started volunteering for the most dangerous missions. Tonks became desperately unhappy, convinced not only that the man she loved would never willingly spend time with her again, but also that he might walk to his death rather than admit his feelings.
In spite of continuing misgivings that he was acting selfishly, Remus married Tonks quietly in the north of Scotland, with witnesses taken from the local wizarding tavern.
He continued to fear that the stigma attached to him would infect his wife and wished for no fanfare around their union; he swung constantly between elation that he was married to the woman of his dreams and terror of what he might have brought upon them both.
When she became pregnant, Remus was not delighted by this, he was in fact scared that he might be passing his condition on to an innocent child.
He even attempted to abandon his pregnant wife and unborn child, but was stopped by Harry Potter. Realising the importance of staying with his family above all else, he returned to Tonks, bitterly ashamed.
Lupin and Tonks both died in the Battle of Hogwarts in May , leaving their son behind in the care of his maternal grandmother, Andromeda Tonks , and his godfather, Harry Potter. Teddy was raised by Andromeda, but would spend a great deal of time with the Potter and Weasley families growing up.
Teddy was a Metamorphmagus , like his mother. Remus' son was born in Remus and his wife, Nymphadora Tonks, named him Teddy , after Tonks's father. At one point, Remus nearly abandoned his wife and unborn son, mostly out of premature shame, guilt, and the fear that his lycanthropy would be passed on and that he'd made outcasts out of Nymphadora and their child.
Rather than wanting to face his impending fatherhood, he intended to help Harry, Ron, and Hermione with their mission of destroying Voldemort's Horcruxes though he was actually unaware of what their "mission" entailed. Harry was, however, upset with the development and got into a rather heated argument with Remus that ultimately convinced him that the best course of action would be to support his family.
He returned to his wife shortly thereafter. Teddy was eventually born and despite his earlier fears and insecurities about being a father, Remus expressed joy at his son's birth and asked Harry to be Teddy's godfather.
Sadly, Remus and his wife were killed at the Battle of Hogwarts , leaving Teddy an orphan when he was between two weeks and one month old. When Remus appeared again through the Resurrection Stone , he was rather devastated knowing that Teddy would have to grow up without either of his parents, but found some solace in knowing that Teddy would be living in a better world. Teddy was raised by his maternal grandmother, but he spent significant time with his godfather Harry Potter's family and the Weasleys.
In their second year, Remus' friends figured out that he was a werewolf ; instead of shunning him, as many in the wizarding world would have, they learned how to become Animagi by their fifth year to accompany Remus on his monthly transformations, preventing him from hurting himself.
Though he was his house's prefect , Remus had difficulty trying to curb his friends' mischievous behaviour. At some point, after Remus and his friends had all become members of the Order of the Phoenix , Sirius came to distrust Remus, fearing he might be a spy; the reasons for this are unknown. Sirius' distrust ensured that Remus was unaware when James and Lily changed their Secret-Keeper from Sirius to Peter, and thus he believed that Sirius had betrayed them when they were murdered by Lord Voldemort.
The two reclaimed their friendship after Sirius escaped from Azkaban in , and Remus learned the truth. They planned to kill their traitorous former friend Peter, but were stopped by Harry Potter. The ending of the three Marauders who had stayed true to their friendship to the very end — James, Sirius, and Remus — was bittersweet: they all lost their lives to the two wizarding wars but were likely reunited in the afterlife,.
Severus Snape , a Slytherin student in Remus' year, shared a strong enmity with Remus' close friends James Potter and Sirius Black , who outright bullied Snape on occasion. Although not friendly with Snape , Remus never behaved cruelly to him.
It is possible that he may have subtly identified with or sympathized with the lonely, isolated Snape, seeing a reflection of himself and how he would have been treated if he hadn't found the protection of his friends. Later in life, he said that he deeply regretted not having done anything to stop the bullying.
At some point in their fifth year, Snape saw Madam Pomfrey leading Remus to the passageway on the full moon; Sirius thought it would be entertaining to inform Snape of how to freeze the Whomping Willow.
Snape tried to do so, but was stopped by James before he could reach the Shrieking Shack , where Remus had transformed. Albus Dumbledore forbade Snape from revealing Remus' condition to anyone, and Snape deeply resented being put in James's debt and suspected that Remus might have been in on the dangerous prank. As adults, Remus and Snape were civil to one another, although barely so on the latter's part. Remus claimed that he neither liked nor disliked Snape; of course they would never be bosom friends, after all that happened in their school days, but he also never forgot that Snape dutifully made him the Wolfsbane Potion, and made it perfectly every time so that he would not have to suffer at the full moon as he usually did.
Snape, on the other hand, barely concealed his bitterness in their interactions. He was irked that Remus obtained the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, which he had always wanted for himself. He suspected that Remus was helping Sirius get into the castle and tried to convince Dumbledore to stop trusting him.
Snape also took to dropping hints that Remus was a werewolf to students, which was understood by at least one of them Hermione Granger , who kept the discovery to herself.
When Remus tried to inform Snape of Sirius' innocence, Snape refused to hear or believe any of it, and was determined to see Remus punished alongside Sirius. When Snape's old enemy escaped re-capture, Snape vindictively exposed Remus' werewolf status, which forced him to resign. In spite of all this, Remus believed that Snape was loyal to the Order of the Phoenix , encouraging Harry Potter to trust him and to continue his Occlumency lessons.
He was shocked and angered when Snape killed Albus Dumbledore , who had been the one to assure other Order members that Snape was trustworthy. Snape, secretly still loyal to the Order, attempted to save Lupin by aiming a Sectumsempra at a Death Eater who was poised to kill Lupin, but accidentally struck George, who lost an ear. Remus, furious, expressed a desire to have " paid him back in kind ", but had to focus on getting himself and George to safety. Lily was not on good terms with two of Remus' dearest friends, James and Sirius, but that did not mean she disliked Remus as well, given that he acted more mature and thoughtful than his friends, and did not participate in their bullying though he did nothing to stop them either.
Remus and Lily were both made prefects during their fifth year, and they were friendly towards each other. After Hogwarts, Lily married James Potter. Although Sirius was the best man, Remus probably attended their wedding, too, given his status as one of their dearest friends.
They all became members of the Order of the Phoenix , during the First Wizarding War , and fought in several battles together. When Pettigrew betrayed the Potters to Voldemort, resulting in the tragic deaths of James and Lily, Remus was devastated. Later on, he became close to Lily's son, Harry, both as a paternal figure and a mentor.
After Lupin was murdered during the Battle of Hogwarts , they were two of the four spirits whom Harry summoned. Remus met Harry Potter , the son of his late friends James and Lily Potter , for the first time since he was an infant, in when he saved Harry from Dementors on the Hogwarts Express.
Remus was the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts during Harry's third year, and quickly became his favourite professor. The two bonded very closely. Remus found Harry to be; intelligent, kind, and an excellent Seeker, and had strong empathy for the pain that he had experienced throughout his life. Harry admired and cared about Remus even after he found out that he was a werewolf.
Remus also told Harry that the first time he saw him, he recognised him not by his scar , but by his eyes, which so closely resembled Lily's.
It is suggested that Remus' classes were how Harry discovered his remarkable talent for Defence Against the Dark Arts. He took Harry aside to teach him the Patronus Charm , assisted him in avoiding trouble with Professor Snape , and returned the Marauders' Map to him once he was no longer a professor. The two met again in the summer of Throughout the years, Remus shared with Harry many stories about his parents and godfather.
He comforted Harry over Sirius's death and also offered him advice on other occasions. The only real disagreement they ever had was when Harry rejected Remus' offer to accompany him and his friends on the quest for Horcruxes. Harry became angry and cutting; he told his former teacher that he was being selfish and irresponsible for leaving his wife and unborn child. Remus responded with uncharacteristic violence and stormed out of the house, taking refuge in a corner of the Leaky Cauldron, where he sat drinking and fuming.
James and Lily, Remus reflected, had stuck with Harry even unto their own deaths. His own parents had sacrificed their peace and security to keep the family together. When Remus' son Teddy Lupin was born, he asked that Harry be the boy's godfather, and after Remus' death Harry played a prominent role in Teddy's life. Remus was one of the spirits that came out of the Resurrection Stone to speak to Harry as he walked to what he believed was his death, indicating the almost familial bond between Remus and Harry.
In Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them , Harry wrote in the werewolf section " aren't all bad ", showing that Remus being a werewolf did not bother him at all. Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley were among the students who were very impressed by Remus' teaching when he was professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts for their third year. Hermione deduced that Remus was a werewolf early in the year, but kept this discovery to herself, not even telling her best friends; this is likely because she disapproved of the prejudice against werewolves and knew exposing the truth would hurt Remus.
Although Ron initially reacted with fear to the revelation that Remus was a werewolf, he continued to admire and like Remus.
In turn, Remus was fond of Ron and Hermione, and was particularly impressed by the latter's cleverness. Albus Dumbledore was considered by many to be the greatest wizard of all time, and Remus Lupin was among his many admirers and staunch supporters.
Dumbledore was Remus' Headmaster during his time at Hogwarts. Dumbledore accepted Remus into his school despite knowing his being a werewolf, as he valued Remus' strength of character and ability, and disregarded the stigma associated with his condition; the headmaster personally approached the Lupin family to invite Remus to school, knowing full well of the circumstances. In fact, it was Dumbledore who, by several special precautions, ensured that Remus' werewolf status was kept secret during his school years, effectively preventing him from being ostracised from his school mates.
When Severus Snape found out what Remus truly was due to a cruel prank played on him by Sirius, Dumbledore was the one who swore him to secrecy. On his part, Remus confessed that Dumbledore's trust and exceptional kindness towards him meant everything to him, given that the vast majority of the wizarding world shunned him because of the deep prejudice towards werewolves, and Remus felt guilty for betraying this kindness by allowing his three Marauder friends illegally become Animagi and roaming wild during their schooling years.
Dumbledore was also the founder and leader of the Order of the Phoenix , an organisation that Remus joined after graduating from school, and he was trusted with many important missions.
Remus was given the position of Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts during the — school year , during which time Dumbledore requested that Snape brew the Wolfsbane Potion for Remus monthly; this, along with providing Remus with a paid job when he was suffering in poverty due to his condition, made Remus respect Dumbledore even more. Remus and Dumbledore fought alongside one another during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries , where they suffered a devastating loss: Sirius, one of their dearest friends, died at the hands of Bellatrix Lestrange.
Remus told Harry Potter on several occasions that he trusted Snape because Dumbledore did so. In , Remus was devastated by Dumbledore's death after the Battle of the Astronomy Tower , and demonstrated his loyalty and faith to Dumbledore by fighting and tragically dying in the next year's Battle of Hogwarts.
Remus was always friendly with the Weasley family. Arthur and Remus fought together at the Battle of the Seven Potters , where the latter was paired with Arthur's son, George. He saved George's life, as George would have fallen off his broomstick when he was cursed by Severus Snape.
Arthur later thanked him for taking care of his son. Remus also lived for some time with the Weasley family at 12 Grimmauld Place.
