'''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]].
 
 
There are hints that he is deceased, for example, the fact that it was [[James Potter I|James]] was who financially helped Remus after Hogwarts, not his parents. This could also be explained by he and his wife having some sort of financial problem, even though both of these statements are mere speculations.
 
 
==Possible names==
 
His name might be John because his son Remus´s middlename is John and Rowling has a habit 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.
