Exactly.  Snape was not unprepared.  What was the part of the exam 
they were discussing in the Pensieve scene?  The question of how to 
identify a werewolf!  Which means any student who expected to score 
an OWL on that exqam probably should know the 5 ways to identify a 
werewolf... meaning Snape probably had a good idea what was going on.
