No one was to blame... I think.

He was emotional when he got there. But a few pages later he's 
calm again. He doesn't seem startled by Snape's arrival, though 
Harry is shocked, Sirius jumps and Hermione screams. Then  
he doesn't remember or react to the news that he hasn't had his 
potion. And how is it  that though he talks about being a werewolf 
for quite a while, he doesn't seem to realize it's the full moon and 
he's going to transform soon? 

Either he's far more rattled than he appears to be, in which case 
he's an excellent actor, or there's something really fishy going on 
(and he's an excellent actor).
