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.) <<

I wondered the very same thing but at Jo's site under Rumors she 
says:
  
Professor Lupin has a twin
No, but this obviously sprang from the fact that Lupin's Christian 
name (Remus) comes from one of the mythical founders of Rome 
who had a twin called 'Romulus'. (They were raised by wolves, 
incidentally). Even if he doesn't have a twin the raised by wolves 
fits in rather nicely with story.
