Whoa here.  Certainly they had reason to believe Snape
the bad guy in PS.  But by time PoA rolls around there
is just no reason for Harry to believe Snape is
poinsoning Lupin.  Yes (he thinks (we don't know)
that) Snape wants the DADA job.  But he thinks Snape
will murder for it.  Even after Snape has tried to
save his life in PS?

By that point he (and Ron) are just eager to believe
Snape evil without any evidence just because they
don't like him.
