Werewolf, former professor, once friends with James Potter, (the all-sexy)Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew.
by Padfoot's Stalker September 22, 2003
Remus Lupin is a former professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, goes by the name Moony by his best friends (James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew). He is a werewolf, and he transforms in the Shrieking Shack once a month. The werewolf who bit him was Fenrir Greyback.
In the marauder era, Lupin was romantically involved with his best friend Sirius Black. After Sirius was killed off in Order of the Phoenix, Remus tried to move on. He married Nymphadora Tonks, Sirius's cousin, in the hope that she would have similar traits as him, and as an experiment of his sexuality. Remus often feels down during the last years of his life because of this mistake.
Remus is often described as having amber eyes, and shaggy brown hair. He's covered in scars because of his transformations, and he's really powerful despite how skinny he is. Since nobody will hire a werewolf, he can't afford nice clothes, and they are often worn down and patchy.

One of the MWPP. Werewolf at heart and body.
Sometimes Lupin does not know where he is, and it is thought that he drinks much ripple when alone.

Lupin: Odd, I feel slightly ill today. Might be a full moon a'coming.
Harry: Professor Lupin! The full moon is coming out early tonight! DON'T LOOK UP!
Lupin: Raaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Harry: Cannot speak because he is being devoured.

(Note: This definition is mainly about the Marauder's Era Remus, not the modern day Harry Potter Remus. Most of this information was provided by Jo Rowling herself through interviews and transcripts.)
Remus Lupin was born on March 10th, 1959. Lupin was bitten by the vicious werewolf Fenrir Greyback as a young child (some believe his age to have been around 6), thus becoming a werewolf himself. His parents tried everything but there was no cure. He and his parents were justifiably afraid he would not be able to attend school, but headmaster Albus Dumbledore allowed him to enroll at Hogwarts - as long as certain measures were taken. A house was built in Hogsmeade with a secret passage leading to it from under the Whomping Willow. Lupin was smuggled into this house for his monthly transformations to ensure his safety and the safety of others. The transformation from human to werewolf is difficult and painful, and when isolated from humans or the company of other animals, a werewolf will harm itself with its own teeth and claws out of frustration from not being able to attack. The villagers mistook Lupin's screaming as that of extremely violent ghosts. The house was dubbed "the Shrieking Shack" and became known as the most haunted building in Britain. Although the house was not really haunted at all, Dumbledore promoted this rumour to discourage curious villagers from exploring.
Remus kept his transformations a secret, but his friends James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew deduced the truth in their third year. By their fifth year they had learnt how to become Animagi themselves to keep him company during his transformations. (A werewolf is only a danger to humans.) He was given the nickname "Moony" by his friends because of his condition. In their sixth year, Sirius Black played a prank on Severus Snape (though Sirius Black, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew hated Snape, Lupin claimed he had no reason to hate him until the 6th book). He told Snape where Remus went every month, knowing full well that Snape could be killed if he approached Lupin in his werewolf state. Snape, being determined to get them in trouble followed Sirius' directions. James stopped Snape part way down the tunnel, saving his life, but Snape saw Remus in werewolf form and was sworn to secrecy by Dumbledore. Snape was never able to forgive Sirius (also James and Remus) for their prank and believed that James' motive in foiling the plan was nothing more than self-interest, to avoid expulsion from Hogwarts. Even though Remus did not know anything of Sirius' prank, Snape loathed and blamed him as well.
Remus was a prefect, though he had trouble exercising discipline over his friends. In an interview, J. K. Rowling linked this to Remus' desire to be liked, "because he's been disliked so often." Remus' main fault is that "he's always so pleased to have friends, so he cuts them an awful lot of slack." Sirius said Remus was the "good boy" in Order of the Phoenix, and Rowling has said he was the "mature" one. Sirius said that Lupin did not participate in his and James' bullying (of Snape, in particular), but Lupin regrets never having told them to stop. He is also noted for being one of the co-creators of the Marauder's Map, which later fell into the ownership of Harry Potter.
He was in the original Order of the Phoenix.

the insanely adorable, chocolate-addicted werewolf/former professor in the harry potter book series.
he's sweet and intelligent, which only add to his attractiveness. he's the 'M' in MWPP. the 'M' stands for 'Moony' because he's a werewolf...
in most fanfiction, he tends to get romantically paired with Harry's godfather, Sirius Black. this happens to be my favorite fanfiction pairing.
if you consult any fangirl about his appearance, she will tell you that he has gorgeous amber eyes and long-ish, shaggy, light-brown hair. his clothes are old and have patches on them (he doesn't have much money because nobody will hire a werewolf).
oh, and he always carries this awesome kind of magical chocolate that can cure anything from headaches to dementor attacks to erectile dysfunction! :)

i never did understand why Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and James Potter were even friends with Peter Pettigrew.
