Richelle:
I have the book you're talking about, though I'm not to that part yet.  I
have seen this theory before, though, on this group.  And I didn't buy it
then either. :)
  PoA, pg 68: "Are you all right, Harry?"
  Harry didn't ask how Prof. Lupin knew his name.

~Cathy~
Why would he?  *Everyone* knows Harry.  Harry has had strangers approach him
on the street before he ever found out he was a wizard.  Certainly it was
not unreasonable to assume that a professor would know him on sight.


Cheryl the Lynx...
       I think the answer lies in the most common comment about Harry...that 
he looks very much like his father, with his mother's eyes. So, here is one 
of James' best friends from school, who would have known James from when 
James was Harry's age, who sees a boy who looks almost exactly like James at 
that age, with *green* eyes and a lightning-bolt shaped scar on his forehead. 
I'd have been *very* surprised if Lupin hadn't recognized Harry.
