'''Mr. Lupin''' was the father of [[Remus Lupin]]. At some point during the [[1960s]] or early [[1970s]], he offended the [[werewolf]] [[Fenrir Greyback]], which lead Greyback to bite and infect his young son in revenge, which is how Remus Lupin became a werewolf. <ref>''Half-Blood Prince'', Chapter 16</ref>
 
 
Along with his [[Remus Lupin's mother|wife]], Mr. Lupin tried all manner of treatments for his son's lycanthropy, but in those days, before [[Damocles]]'s invention of the [[Wolfsbane Potion]], there were no cures that actually worked.<ref name="poa18">''Prisoner of Azkaban'', Chapter 18</ref> He and his wife worried that their son would not be able to attend [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]], due to his condition, but [[Albus Dumbledore]] made a special provision for the boy.<ref name="poa18" />
 
 
As Remus Lupin is known to have been a [[half-blood]],<ref>"[http://www.accio-quote.org/articles/2004/0304-wbd.htm World Book Day Chat, 2004]" at ''Accio Quote!''</ref> it stands to reason that at least one of his parents was magical. The fact that Mr. Lupin angered a werewolf indicates that he had contact with the wizarding world — implying that he may have been a [[Wizards|wizard]].
 
 
==Possible names==
 
His name might be John because his son Remus´s middlename is John and Rowling has some sort of "passion" for naming her characters after a relative of them, for example [[William Weasley|William Arthur Weasley]] is named Arthur after his father, [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginevra Molly Potter (née Weasley)]] is named Molly after her mother, [[Ted Lupin|Ted Remus Lupin]] is named Ted after his maternal grandfather and Remus after his father, and [[Ronald Weasley|Ronald Bilius Weasley]] is named Bilius after his uncle. Also [[Harry Potter|Harry James Potter]] has his father's name as his middle name. Also, [[Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore]] has his father's and possible several grandfathers forenames in his middle name.
