"When I read that it crossed my mind that something more was going  
on.  (snip)  So, I don't know what side of the Lupin argument this 
contributes to, but it's clear that he's either been a professor 
before, or there was another Professor R. J. Lupin in his family.

Me:
No disagree.  He briefcase is his old school bag.
It was quite common for kids who who went to private schools in the 
1970's and earlier, to carry briefcases with their names printed on 
them for identification.  Old fashioned to us now but this was long 
before canvas or sports bags became available or fashionable.
Not only is Lupin poor and unable to afford anything so extravagant 
as a new bag, I think going back to Hogwarts to teach probably felt 
as if he was reliving his school days, so why not take his old school 
bag.
