Actually there is some indirect evidence that Lupin raised that 
issue, if not with Snape then with Dumbledore. In the post-mortem 
discussion between Harry and Dumbledore, Harry tells DD that Snape 
stopped giving him occlumency lessons. DD not only tells him that he 
already knows, but that he knows the reason as well. I find it 
extremely unlikely and out of character for Snape to have gone to DD 
to complain that Harry peeked into his private embarassing memories. 
DD was no longer in the school when the pensieve incident happened. 
So how could he have learned about it? I assume he heard it from 
Lupin (or possibly from Sirius, but I am inclined to think it was 
Lupin who failed convincing Snape so turned instead to DD).

Ditto here.
