Actually Hermione tells everyone at the Shrieking Shack that she 
realized Lupin was a werewolf after she wrote the essay for Snape on 
the creatures.

Also, during her final examination, she had to face a boggart and it 
turned into Prof. Mcgonnagal telling her she failed her subjects.

I don't think that Lupin purposefully didn't want her to face the 
boggart.  It was heading straight for Harry and he didn't want the 
class to see Voldermort.  It was just that a coincidence that she 
was farther from the creature than Harry.  There is also the theory 
that Ron is a seer.  Ron makes lots of jokes that later on turn out 
to be true.  You can research them in other posts.  This might have 
been another one of JKR's red herrings.
