No, Lupin was not born a werewolf, but he was bitten as a child.  "I 
was a very small boy when I received the bite.  My parents tried 
everything, but in those days there was no cure," says Lupin (POA, US 
version, pg 352).  But Lupin never says how young he actually was so 
it's anyone's guess (except maybe JKR's) - but my theory is that he 
was old enough to wander from his parents for at least a short time 
and possibley old enough to know better (he alludes to being 
foolhardy concerning his lycanthropy).

Tooks - who wouldn't be shocked if Lupin was the HBP; I'd be pleased
