I think Remus reacts very, and more emotional to Harry hearing 
*Lily's* voice than he does to anything else in PoA. Can't 
quote 'cause I don't have the book here, but that is a vague sign, 
the basis for my unsteady theory about Remus having been in love with 
Lily.

That sounds very plausible if you believe Remus is evil, don't want 
to do that, but can't help it. 
But I don't think he really cared one bit about *Snape*, Snape was 
just *meat to be wasted*, Remus would not be held responsible in his 
werewolf state, and James and Sirius would have been blamed, and 
probably expelled, if things had worked out according to *plan*. 
Somehow I believe Remus loves/hates Harry, with James' looks and 
Lily's eyes. I think it is mentioned that he is looking at Harry in a 
*weird* way several times. He might want Harry killed to end his own 
torment, and dote on him at the same time when he is reminiscent 
about Lily.
