Darrin,

You keep saying it as if their story was the most logical and 
straightforward thing to accept.
If I remember, even Dumbledore tells Harry in PoA, that Snape's
version of the events is much more plausible.
Besides, from all the ways to infuriate Snape and make him stop listen,
Lupin chooses the surest one: referring to the "schoolboy grudge"
where Snape sees attempted murder.
