I think the motivation of defending school rules, considering that
Lupin was accompanied by a school official -- Madam Pomphrey took
Lupin to the shack, remember -- shouldn't be swallowed if Snape tries
to float that as his reason.
Or did the young Snape consider himself a better arbiter of the rules
than the school nurse? How very ironic.

Yes, the example that bravery, self-sacrifice and cleverness is more
valuable than sneaking about, trying to cost the other team points.
Quality of points is worth more than quantity. And also, choose the
right path, not the easy path.
Like I've said, hopefully, one of the Slyths will get it and we'll
finally get that good Slyth.
