Because he's a werewolf. Remember Ron, who had known Lupin as the 
best of teachers for a year, responded to Lupin's attempt to ease the 
pain of Ron's broken leg with 'Get away from me, werewolf!'? 

When it became impossible to deny that there was a Dark Side spy 
among the good guys, that the bad guys were not getting their 
information simply from Divination or something, it was still 
impossible to believe that any of our trusted, loyal friends, who had 
all risked their lives for the Light Side on occasion, would have 
turned to the Dark Side. [Peter WOULD NOT have been assigned the code 
name "Iago", even if there were code names.] Run down the list of 
names of our comrades, and at every name, "No, it couldn't possibly 
be him (or her)." 

Come to Remus's name on the list. Say "No, it couldn't possibly be 
him. He's the nicest person anyone would ever want to meet, and so 
ethical that he sometimes acts the prig." But someone said: "Well, he 
*is* a werewolf, therefore not always in control of his actions. You 
know he's not the nice guy on Full Moon nights!" It seemed very 
unlikely, but anyone else seemed impossible...
