me (vampire):
After reading this part of your post something just suddenly popped 
into my head. We know that boggart will take the appearance of 
anything a person fear the most and at that point nobody knows what 
Neville fear the most. Maybe Snape was trying to remind Lupin that 
Neville's boggart might take the appearance of one of those who 
tortured his parents or maybe even Voldemort. If it is Voldything 
then pandemonium will break out in class. If it is one of the 
Lestranges, I can't see why it's a concern. But what if Snape and 
Lupin knows somebody who is pretending to be a good guy, who was the 
lead torturer of Neville's parents then it's a concern for both Snape 
and Lupin that Neville's bogart might take the appearance of that 
person whose good guy image the 2 are trying to protect. This then 
will prove the 2 are ESE. It could also mean that the 2 professors 
are really good guys and they are trying to protect the image of a 
reformed person who is now helping the good guys. Or they are trying 
to protect the image of a dead person whose son is the only hope they 
have to defeat Voldything, Lily or James? Who knows who Neville's 
bogart will change into before it happened. Maybe that's why Lupin 
asked Neville first who he feared the most in the guise of guiding 
Neville how to fight the boggart but in reality he just want to make 
sure that nobody he's trying to protect will suddenly make an 
appearance as the boggart. Just imagine yourself in that class, when 
Lupin released the boggart and it changes to, let say Professor 
Flitwick, wouldn't you be asking yourself why him? Knowing Hermione 
she will launch an investigation why Neville fear Flitwick the most 
until she discovers that there is a big cover-up with the Longbottom 
torture case. I hope I explained my point clearly. Im in the office 
and I can't organize my thought properly cause a lot of people keep 
on passing by my cube. 

vampire, i will go back to work now to earn some galleons.
