HP challenge Day 16


Day 16: Favorite professor

I love Lupin! I think he was actually my first book crush.  He is good-natured, kind, and able to extract the best in everyone.

Harry Potter Wiki describes Lupin’s personality as this:

Remus was very intelligent, calm, tolerant, fair-minded, gentle and good-natured. Despite having suffered a great deal of prejudice in his life due to his lycanthropy, he managed to retain an ability to see the good in almost everybody and was extremely forgiving. He also had an excellent sense of humor, and when he was a student at school, was one of the Marauders. However, unlike his friends, he never partook in bullying, being personally against such behavior (possibly because of the prejudices he suffered as a werewolf), though he also stood by and did nothing to stop it. He hence could be described as the most mature one of the group. He even became a prefect in his fifth year. Also, unlike his friends, he was able to, or at least would try to maintain civil conversation with those he did not get along well with, a notable example being Snape.

Remus was quite perceptive, with an uncanny ability to guess the thoughts of those around him. This is especially clear in his conversations with Harry, such as his understanding that Harry thought Lupin believed him incapable of tackling a Bogart.


I hope this gives you guys a little glimpse into why I think he’s so awesome.  Who is your favorite Hogwarts professor?
