would have been killed by Lupin as a boy...that is going to cause 
him to have some prejudices based in fear about werewolves, one in 
particular.  He was probably uncomfortable being around Lupin, 
especially given how close he had to work with him.  And fear is not 
always logical, even though it wouldn't have been Lupin's fault when 
they were kids, Severus will still resent him for it.

1- This is the first time I have seen the notion of Snape having any 
fear. It doesn't jibe with someone willing to *betray* LV.

2- If that had been teh case, why would he leak the information to 
STUDENTS?
