Interestingly, Rowling stated she hadn't always planned on killing the much-loved character off, saying she came to the decision quite late:Once again, it's the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts so, as promised, I shall apologise for a death. This year: Remus Lupin.

In the interests of total honesty I'd also like to confess that I didn't decide to kill Lupin until I wrote Order if the Phoenix. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) May 2, 2016Rowling was obviously attached to both Remus and Tonks, so was sad to think about what happened to their son, Teddy.
Always one for interacting with fans, Rowling quoted one person putting their love for Lupin in simple terms.Arthur lived, so Lupin had to die. I'm sorry. I didn't enjoy doing it. The only time my editor ever saw me cry was over the fate of Teddy. ?
