I guess I'd assumed Fenrir Greyback was his nom-de-guerre. His real name
was Jeremiah Smith (a relative of Zachariah and Hephzibah), but he
realized that no would could spread terror with that name - worse even
than being Tom Riddle - and besides, everyone would know he was a
Hufflepuff. So he reincarnated himself as the fearsome Fenrir Greyback
of no known antecedents. Probably refuses to admit he was bitten these
days. He insists he's always been a wolf, has nothing human about him
except shape.
