Interesting theory!

It could be possible-some names, like Tonk's first name, have soemthing to do with abilities. But, then again, Remes doesn't kill his brother/get killed by his brother/fight anyone.

Oh, but that would support your theory...maybe that was is original role...

Actually, she might have abandoned that idea, because Lupin is hit doubly for the wolf thing, and it is better know about Remus and Romulus and Lupin meaning wolf.

I don't even remember the character you are talking about. So, he is really a minor one there.

I'll admit he is mentioned rather often for the part he plays. I mean, in the entire series he says what? Two line?

Interesting... he may really have had a better part originally
