Lupus the wolf constellation is considered weak because it has no 
extremely bright stars in it.

Don't forget that Lupin has been called weak by Snape.

Lupus is located between Centarus and Hydra constellations.  Centaurus 
represents Chiron, the gentle and wise Centaur mentor of Hercules.  
Hydra is the many-headed beast that can regrow a head after it has 
been cut off.  The Hydra sounds like Snape's description of facing the 
many-headed beast associated with the Dark Arts (ie. Voldemort).

Lupin is being used by Dumbledore to keep tabs on Werewolves and Death 
Eaters.  You could say he is stuck between Dumbledore and Dark side 
just like Lupus is stuck between Centaurus and Hydra.  That would make 
him a good DADA teacher.

Unfortunately, Lupus has been identified as an animal about to be 
sacrificed by the Centaur.

I am getting a kick out of these constellation myths.  Sorry if no one 
else is.
