Biography:

Remus' life has never been quite the same since he was bitten by a werewolf as a child. He struggles to lead a normal life, with the support of his very close friends, Sirius, James and Peter, who became Animagus just in order to make him feel less alienated.

Remus is a warm, considerate person, with a particular gift for Defence Against the Dark Arts. He is a hard-working and dedicated student and a commited friend. His past romances have been brief and not too serious- he tends to let Sirius and James do the 'girl-chasing'. Remus' self-esteem is low, and he cannot see how any girl would want him, given his...err...'furry little problem'.

When Sirius and James get completely out of control, he is there to make sure they don't step over that invisible line. He doesn't approve of everything they do, but he doesn't know what he'd do without them. Sometimes he wishes there was not so much conflict between the houses- but he's too shy to take a stand.

Remus is a great keeper, and knows it, but due to certain personal problems, is unable to try out for the team. Instead, he is a passionate spectator, especially since two of his friends are on the team.
