I am struck by how Lupin treats Snape *after* this episode (in 
Grimmauld Place, especially), in contrast to Sirius's treatment of 
Snape. If anyone had a "right" to treat Snape with contempt and 
derision, it's Lupin, but he doesn't. He doesn't call 
him "Snivellus" or throw his weight around.

I get the sense that, on some level Lupin has forgiven Snape.
