And to me, the name Remus makes me think of a (bronze) statue of two human children suckling the teats of a huge she-wolf.  It's sort of distracting. ^_^ Poor Remus.

But yeah..as for Remus Lupin (I knew he had to be a werewolf or something the second I saw his name..Remus is pretty blatant..but Lupin just cinches it)...As the family was already had the last name Lupin..maybe they just named him Remus as a sort of joke??  To make the two names match, you know?  Still a big coincidence with the last name though..
