It is true that Hagrid has trouble keeping secrets.  However, I don't 
know why you think he doesn't know Lupin is a werewolf.  Hagrid was 
in the OoTP (see, OoTP, p. 175).  He's known Lupin for decades.  And 
he's not terrible at keeping a secret.  He's terrible at keeping a 
secret when someone alreadys knows quite a bit (e.g., Fluffy).  For 
example, he didn't fess that he was a half-giant until well into book 
four.  And then, only after Harry had pretty solid evidence that he 
was (from evesdropping on him at the dance).  If Snape is a vampire, 
I think Hagrid would know.  If Harry suspected this and confronted 
Hagrid, then Hagrid would probably crack.  Moreover, in this scene we 
see Hagrid already becoming flustered (a sign that he is starting to 
crack).
