We all know Remus had a pretty shitty life. Some of it sucked more than the rest, but there were good moments too. Yes, He's drawn the short straw, and he keeps getting curveballs, but he barely had the chance to draw a straw at all.

I was getting a bit confused keeping character appearances straight and figured others might be too. Hope this helps but keep in mind that the descriptions are for the beginning of each school year and are subject to change with the plot.
