No we do not. And I think you're right -- it's based on gossip. Percy 
tells Harry Snape wants to teach DADA in book 1 and the assumptions 
continue from there. When Harry mentions this to Lupin in book 3, 
Lupin dismisses Harry. I believe he just doesn't feel it would be 
appropriate to discuss another professor. 

As you say, Snape has alternative (though not necessarily valid) 
reasons for disliking all the DADA teachers. I think Snape would have 
had no problems with Lupin were it not for their past.
