Yes, I speculated this briefly a couple days ago.  It's really 
starting to make more sense to me...  

But then again the argument for Lupin (if the character doesn't have 
to be in CoS) works as well.  I'm rereading Book 5 and Umbridge 
refers to him as "half-breed", but that could refer to Hagrid as 
well...
