Have we looked into any possible connections between Lupin and Luna? I'm sure 
we have, but I can't find it.  :)  Someone please point me in the right 
direction. 

Of course, the obvious Luna=Moon, 
Lupin=Afraid-of-the-moon-because-he's-a-werewolf issue came to my mind. But when I was listening to PoA the other day, I 
realized that Peeves called Lupin "Loony Lupin." I took this to be something 
Lupin may have been called as a student at Hogwarts that Peeves took pleasure 
in repeating. Do you think it's an accident, then, that the character who is 
named after the moon is also called "Loony" in OoP?
