Andromeda:
  I would have to say it doesn't sound like Lupin at all. Tawny hair 
(goldenish, right?), bushy eyebrows, yellowish eyes, spectacles... 
no way it is Lupin.  Probably not his dad either, but you never 
know. Jo seems to keep her descriptions of people pretty consistent 
(thus the 101 uses of DD's "long crooked nose" and Snape's hooked 
nose and greasy hair).  I love the Godric Gyffindor idea, with all 
the lion references, except for the wire-rimmed spectacles.  Maybe 
one of his descendents comes to teach at Hogwarts.  I know, he's 
McCLaggan, heir of Gyffindor, HBP, AND DADA teacher!

Or maybe he's Madam Hooch's brother.  Seems unlikely to be a 
basilisk in disguise.  :)
