I have to agree about him being in denial.  I can certainly see him 
dashing off after the trio because of a calculated risk, but he shows 
absolutely no sign of remembering what night this is.  Even after 
Snape reminds him of his potion, we don't see a single, "You know 
guys, we really need to move it."

I don't see Snape fearing Remus.  "Hating" is the term I would use.  
They are not the same thing.
