an important point for JKR.  Many of us have been in situations where 
we've watched bullying and did nothing... I think because Lupin 
didn't act as a child to stop such behaviour, he may well be more 
inclined to act as an adult, to make up for his youth.  Notice that 
at one point in OotP it is Lupin that stops Sirius and Snape 
fighting... my theory is that soon we will see Lupin rescue Snape, 
and hopefully they can start to forget the past.  What a chance for 
Snape to begin to change as a character, if he befriends his 
enemy...and they work together to help Harry

 Potioncat:
I don't recall the scene where Lupin stops a fight.  Is it in the 
Shrieking Shack?

What I have noticed is that Lupin praises Snape several times in the 
books when Snape is not around to hear it. Lupin seems to respect his 
skills.  It is clear that Snape doesn't trust him. (At least not in 
PoA.)

I don't think Snape will change as a character, although it would be 
good to see him grow. Or is that what you mean?
