Corrected entry: Professor Lupin tells Harry that he recognised him the first time he saw him because he had his mother's eyes (and didn't have to be told who he was). The first time Lupin saw Harry, Harry had passed out and his eyes were shut - and Hermione was using Harry's name before he came round.

Correction: Lupin didn't know this was Harry Potter who was passed out. And everyone was talking about Sirius Black had escaped from Azkaban, not just Harry and his friends. The "first time" he saw him, Lupin was chasing off the dementor and when he turns around, he first saw Harry.
Correction: I think Remus was lying about recognizing Harry from his eyes. When Lupin was asleep in the compartment the trio sat in, Harry told them that Sirius Black is after him. And heard him because he was pretending to be sleeping but he heard everything. So no he knew he was Harry when he heard his story.

Correction: Hermione was only saying 'Harry', Harry Potter is not the only person in the world called Harry. Lupin didn't realise that this Harry was 'Harry Potter' until he'd come round and opened his eyes.
