Well, I can see Snape and Remus being the same age but I'm almost 100% sure that Lucius was not in the same year level as the Marauders + Snape. I imagine Lucius to be two or three years ahead.

Hahahaha Of course you can join!!!
Welcome Kit

Thanks for the link!

Yeah and since he would be 35 in PoA that means he would be 38ish in the sixth book.. and so would Lupin..

You know I just realized James and Lily died at age 22.. that's really sad

That's true Tan.They died really young

So what do you think Remus's background is? Now --- do we know anything about his parents? Whether or not they're alive?


I think that his parents might have been travelers [muggle travelers? wizarding travelers?]--- which is why he might've had a dirty, worn out luggage bag. So on one of their trips ---- they run into a non-too-friendly werewolf [Greyback? (wait, is that his name?)].

I think his parents are dead
That is a good explaination Kit.

^^ Yup that's right he's called Fenrir (sp?) Greyback.

For some reason I have the impression that his parents might have been farmers or something like that. I don't know if that's at all hinted at in the book or it's just me completly making that up. Maybe it's just that being attacked by a werewolfseems something that would be more likely to happen in the countryside.

I wonder how his parents coped after he was bitten.

Oh and still on Lupin's age there does seem to be a possibility that Lupin could be older than the other mauraders (making that quote from JKR about Sirius' age not so certain for predicting Lupin's) In POA he says that he and his parents didn't think there was any chance of him going to Hogwarts but when Dumbledore became headmaster he allowed him in. That could meen that Lupin was older than 11 when he started.


Here's another question. In the POA film Remus says to Harry:



If they got this idea from Jo, which I would have thought they'd have to, then what do you think he's talking about?

Yup Fenir Greyback is his name

Good explanation Kit, sounds pretty right. Did it ever say if his parents were muggles, muggle-born or both wizards?

Not necessarly I would imagine if he started later he'd still start in first year and do the exams and such like at the same time as everyone else.

That's an interesting look on it --- they haven't specified, and it would be very specified about what year DD came to be the headmaster. I've always had the impression that Dumbledore was already headmaster when the Marauders entered the school.

Though --- we don't know at what age Remus was bitten, it could be very young, like say 6 or 7 when he was very vulnerable. And so he's had to deal with it for a couple of years before the option of Hogwarts.



Bah, that bothered me. Though, yeah, there are many fans out there where they love the Remus fancy-Lilly thing, I didn't like it so much. But I guess it gets some background with the friends. I can see if Remus looked to Lilly in adoration if she stuck by him when no one else did. Which could mean that Sirius and James and Peter weren't always friendly to the werewolf.



Well, there had been no real indication. But I have the impression, the only reason why Remus Lupin is despised by the wizarding community is because of his 'furry little problem'. Which means, I think that both his parents were decent wizards who could have possibly traveled around the world doing Ministry of Magic international business or just very merry travelers who love to see countries everywhere, etc.

Yeah that makes sense.

I tend to think Lupin is the same age as his friends, I mean I don't think there have ever been instances where a older students wasn't with their year..

Remus and Lilly, somehow I can't see them together, but I can see them as great friends..

I wonder why they wrote that on the script.I mean, James annd Sirius were always with him, that is one of the reasons they learn to be Animagus, so they could be with him when he transformed into a wolf. Although it quite bothers me, I found the line sweet

I wonder if there talking about something else - not them finding out he's a werewolf. From what Lupin said in book POA it was his friends that guessed and they stuck by him. In the memory scene Lupin doesn't seem particularly close to Lily. I think it might be talking about something after that maybe when Remus' parents died. Or maybe he accidently bit someone and for a while the Mauraders were so horrified by that that they abandoned him for a bit.

Of course as some people have said the director might have put it in just for an emotional moment with Lupin and Harry but you would have thought he could have used Lupin and James' friendship. I have read that JKR sometimes tells the actors things about their characters that she hasn't yet revealed in the books.
