Hope Howell

Hope Lupin (née Howell) (d. c. 1981) was a Welsh Muggle woman, the wife of Lyall Lupin and the mother of Remus John Lupin. She worked as an insurance worker in Cardiff before meeting Lyall.

Biography
Hope was born in Wales and worked there most of her life in an insurance office. Early in 1959, she was taking a walk through a dense, magical forest when she stumbled upon a Boggart, which took the form of a very large and vicious-looking man. Lyall turned it into a field mushroom with a wave of his wand and escorted her back home.

A few months later the couple fell in love and had a splendid wedding, including a cake in the shape of a Boggart. A year later, their first and only child Remus John Lupin was born, on 10 March, 1960.

In early 1965, Fenrir Greyback attacked the Lupins' house, having been insulted by Lyall at the Ministry of Magic some time prior. Her son was bit and turned into a werewolf, and despite her husband's many attempts to revert the transformation there was no cure. Thus, they uprooted from village to village, never staying long until Remus began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

During his years at Hogwarts, her son would say Hope was ill and he had to go and visit her, as an excuse for his monthly disappearances which were actually caused by lycanthropy. In spite of Remus's elaborate lies, his friends, James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew guessed the truth in their second year.

Hope had already died by the defeat of Lord Voldemort, in 1981.

Physical description
Hope was described as a very beautiful young woman.
