Ariana Dumbledore
Formerly a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, where he formed a close bond with Harry that has continued in the years since. Lupin was a close friend of James Potter and of Sirius. A werewolf, Lupin looks far older and more tired than he should be for only being in his mid-thirties, as he struggles to find work and the strain of transforming every month takes its toll on his health. He marries Tonks not long before the novel begins, though his guilt over marrying Tonks and possibly conceiving a child affected with werewolfism rules his life in the months after he marries. He offers to help Harry, Ron, and Hermione and leave Tonks with her parents when Tonks reveals that she's pregnant. Lupin later insinuates that Harry was right to refuse his help and send him home. Though Lupin is a force for good, he understands that desperate times call for desperate measures and chastises Harry for not using more forceful or even deadly spells to protect himself. Lupin dies in the final battle at Hogwarts, though he returns in a ghost-like form to accompany Harry to meet Voldemort.
