werewolf

I'm not surprised at all, he didn't seem fully recovered in Naked either

Haha, I can never help but notice the similarities between the two when I watch it. Because it's not just the werewolf comment, either:

Johnny talks about self-fulfilling prophecies, while in Harry Potter the prophecy made about Harry and Voldemort has come true solemly due to Voldemort's actions upon hearing it, making it a self-fulfilling prophecy as well; Johnny looks much older than he actually is ("About forty, I think." "I'm twenty-seven."), while Lupin looks older due to his being a werewolf; Lupin looks ill and exhausted often because of that very same reason, while Johnny doesn't exactly look too healthy, either; he talks about how he has some cruel disease; he is smart and educated but doesn't seem to have a job or a goal in life, coming over pretty lost. Oh, and both of them limp! The reasons behind it are different entirely (and it's not the same leg), but still. ;p

Edit - I forgot: Lupin's middle name is John.
And another edit - Johnny comments "the sky fell in on me; cloud cut me across the cheek," while Lupin sports some extensive scars on his face. (I never really managed to make out whether he said 'cut' or 'caught', though, so that one might be erroneous.)
