If JKR named Lupin Remus for symbolic reasons, who represents 
Romulus? When is Remus going to get jealous of Romulus, which will 
lead to Romulus killing Remus. I really hope that JKR just thought 
that Romulus or Remus would be a funny name for a Werewolf, and 
chose Remus because it sounded more like a real(or contemporary)name.

In my first reading of GoF, I did not pick up on the Remus 
thing:however, I did wonder about his last name being Lupin. Of 
course, I thought it might just represent that he was not what he 
seemed, or that he might be a villain.

BTW, I'm pretty much a newbie here. I just starting reading the HP 
series at Thanksgiving, and received PoA and GoF for Christmas. I 
spent all night Christmas and most of the day Dec 26 reading those 
books all the way through and am now hopelessly addicted. Lucky for 
me I found this discussion group, or I seriously doubt I would be 
able to survive until the 5th book comes out. My husband is already 
giving me a hard time about having read the books twice.
