I think there could be some connection with Neville Longbottom's grandmother and her headwear.  She favoured just such a hat and Neville dressed the boggit/Snape creature in vulture topped headwear to make it less frightening to him.  Maybe the confidence Neville gained through this lesson with Lupin encouraged him to put a "ridiculus" charm on Snape's cracker!
