Why didn t Remus raise Harry?

Remus Lupin didn't raise Harry because he was a werewolf, making him poor, ostracized, and unable to hold stable jobs, facing intense prejudice that made Ministry approval for guardianship unlikely. More importantly, Dumbledore placed Harry with the Dursleys for Lily's blood protection, a charm that required Harry to live with her blood relatives, a condition Lupin didn't meet, despite his close friendship with James and Lily. Lupin also suffered from low self-esteem and felt he would "taint" Harry or couldn't provide a stable life due to his condition and circumstances, a feeling exacerbated by the loss of his friends.
