I always had the idea that Lupin was admitted late, since he 
implies he was excluded until Dumbledore became headmaster.

Which raises a couple of other questions:

 -- Were there any headmasters between Dippet and Dumbledore?

-- Does Dippet's picture in the office ever nag Dumbledore?  ("You 
let a werewolf in?  What are you, nuts?")
