Snape backs out of the room when he delivers the potion.

When Snape moves in on the Shack, he ties up Lupin, never 
Sirius, though Sirus is supposed to be a wizard who killed 
thirteen people with a single curse and may be carrying the knife 
he used to attack the Fat Lady and Ron's curtains. Obviously 
Snape considers Lupin the greater threat.


Reply:

I don't really think he backed out of the room because he was afraid, more like he wanted to see what Lupin and Harry were talking about. Or perhaps he was even worried about Harry. As for considering him the greater threat, wouldn't you? Lupin is a werewolf and Sirius Black is supposed to be mostly drained by the Dementors. Even if Snape still has fear left from his childhood, I think it's more or less a common-sensical fear.
