Lupin is a half-breed in the sense that he's part-human, part-werewolf.  I don't think we need to take the word "breed" literally when speaking about fictional creatures.
 
But Lupin's a mutant, really.  He mutated from wholly human to half and half (or more accurately, 3/4 - 1/4).  But mutant smacks of science fiction, doesn't it?  Half-breed works as far as I'm concerned.
