     There was a long-running comic strip in the United States called 
"(Little Orphan) Annie", where virtually all the names of characters 
were punnish clues about their real nature (my favorite was when a crook 
named "Jed Garr" turned out to be an undercover FBI agent; "J. Edgar"). 
I guess JKR could have been even more obvious, with a name like, say, 
"Louis Carew", but "Remus Lupin" was obvious enough.
