Geoff:
Having just looked through the "Boggart in the Wardrobe" chapter, I 
can't see this occurrence. The only thing I can find is, where Lupin 
takes the class into the Staff Room to see the boggart, Snape gets up 
to go and..

"At the doorway he turned on his heel and said, 'Possibly no one's 
warned you Lupin, but this class contains Neville Longbottom.'"

(POA "The Boggart in the Wardrobe" p.100 UK edition)

Full name, not just first name....
