I asked,

> And another question concerning Lupin: why does Snape hate him? As far as 
> the Prank goes, Sirius is the one to blame, <snip> Or did something else happen that we don't know about?

Wendy replied:


It's my opinion that Snape hated Lupin because for many years Snape believed 
Lupin *did* have had a part in the planning of the "prank." In the Shrieking 
Shack, Snape finds out that this belief was incorrect, and that Lupin was not 
in on the "prank" at all (from what we know in canon, it seems as though 
Sirius started it entirely by himself, telling no one else but James, who 
then ran in and saved Severus). So now Snape knows the truth - that Lupin 
wasn't at fault. But, being Snape, he is slow to let go of a grudge <snip>.

Me:

Your arguments make sense, all except one. How could Snape think that Lupin planned the Prank along with S and J? I mean, that automatically means that Lupin planned to become a murderer! Even Snape, who hates James' guts along with all James' friends, couldn't think that Lupin would plan to eat somebody. No, I just don't understand it. ::stares, puzzled, at the computer screen::

Maria,

who should think about something else, like her exam tomorrow.
