When we were first introduced to the character, I was already attuned to the fact that JKR "LOVED" to play with names and hint about a possible hidden aspect of their character with their name. That being said, was blatantly obvious to me that there was definitely something "wolfish" about Remus Lupin. First, Remus along with his twin Romulus were raised by a she-wolf and founded Rome (according to legend). Also, even though Lupin is a flower, it still sounds close enough to Lupine, to make the wolfish connection. :-)

Geoff:
Thank you. May I wish you the same?

I was merely pointing out that our remarks paralleled each other - not that 
they were identical. Perhaps I should have used the term 'complemented' 
because, if anyone hadn 't picked up my Remus reference, you explained 
it very succinctly. Mark you, I still can't think of Remus' surname without 
visualising this guy with a tapering blue head and with green legs buried 
in the soil.
