Remus thought that Snape assigned the werewolf essay to get students 
to figure out that Remus was a werewolf, start a panic, and get Remus 
fired. That's not an inaccurate guess, considering that Snape DID 
manipulate events to get Lupin fired by "accidentally" letting it 
slip that Lupin is a werewolf.

Yeah, no reason AT ALL for Lupin to get upset about that...

So perhaps there is more to it than "Remus being Remus."

The "Snape was a picked-on, misunderstood, poor little Goth boy who 
was born 20 years too early to LARP White Wolf games" routine is pure 
fanfic contamination.
