Very slightly.  Being Muggle-born seems to be quite common while 
being a werewolf is something that you have to keep absolutely 
hidden.  Not only that, we don't know that Remus is *especially* 
intelligent.  James Potter and Sirius Black are mentioned as two of 
the brightest students ever at Hogwarts, and Peter Pettigrew is 
mentioned as a somewhat poor wizard, but Lupin's scholastic 
achievements are completely unknown.
