Your original post didn't say Remus shouldn't be surprised. It said 
there was no point to Remus getting upset because he WAS a werewolf. 
I disagree with that. Of course, he shouldn't be surprised at Snape. 
No one should be surprised at what that greaseball will do. It's what 
makes him an interesting character.

But he had every right to be upset.

Simply put, Lupin could have been letting Snape know that he was 
prepared to reveal some secrets himself, and to cut the crap with 
these sneaky werewolf essays.

My post, which you cut off before quoting completely, said that Remus 
had reason to be torked at Snape for trying to get him fired or 
forcing him to resign. It was a response to your considering Lupin's 
motivation for tweaking Snape as "Remus being Remus" which insinuates 
that Remus just tweaked Snape for fun, because, hey, that's what 
Snape is for, the Mauraders' amusement.

After all, we don't know for sure that Snape isn't a vampire, or part-
vampire. Or perhaps he's been undergoing a "cure" similar to Lupin's.
