One can rationalize your position, but realistically, I don't think
Lupin would be eager to invite many people along when he went to
investigate why he saw both Sirius and Peter on the Map. 

Given Snape and Sirius's ill-will, Snape would be the last person
Lupin would give any hint that something was wrong at that moment.
Also, given that he had just seen a dead person on the map (Peter)
combined with Sirius's obvious attack on the Trio, I think he might
have been a little pre-occupied in that moment.

Consequently, he rushed out to investigate without thinking or planning. 

Snape in the same vein was distracted by his own hatred of Sirius to
think of sharing the glory for his capture with anyone. Plus, the
circumstance gave him the added bonus of getting Lupin fired and Harry
expelled. ...like Christmas come early.

Just a thought.
