While Remus Lupin's name gives clues to his inner wolf, it could be read in 
other ways.

The most famous "Remus," after all, is the twin of Romulus, the legendary 
founder of Rome.

When I first read PoA, I halfway expected the Big Surprise to be that Remus 
Lupin's twin Romulus was a DE,or something like that.

Come to it---we really know very little about Lupin's early life.  Could he 
have been one of a pair of twins?  Maybe Fenrir Greyback ate Romulus Lupin. 
(This would be a good question to ask Herself, if someone gets a chance.)
