>>The other possibility for Remus (and other characters) is 'nominative
determinism'. This has featured heavily in the letters pages of the
magazine 'New Scientist' for years. It's the idea that people born with
certain names are drawn to appropriate jobs or lifestyles. Y'know -
Mr Bun the Baker, Mrs Mop the Cleaner, Mr Lupin the Werewolf? <<

Given the above theory,... ahem...does my first name imply
something?... You'll have to ask Carole about my broomstick, but we do
have 3 kids! I guess I just never thought about it before. Hmmmmmmm
