I always agreed that Lupin was most likely a teacher before entering 
Hogwarts, but continued to wonder where.  I've had a theory only 
recently that, perhaps, Lupin didn't nessarily teach at a school.  He 
could always have been a tutor to those who wish to improve their 
grades (makes scheduling around the full moon a lot easier) or 
specialize in something specific (:cough:lycanthropy:cough:).  

Lupin could also have actually taught part-time or just given 
lectures on lycanthropy (or some other speciality he my have - DADA) 
at some wizard university - should there be one.  This way he can be 
open about his "condition" and  it can used to his advantage, for 
once.  And, again, a part-time or lecturing position would allow him 
to work around the full moon.

Tooks - Wow, I've been thinking about this way too much ;o)
