Evil!Lupin theory also maintains that Lupin knew previously that 
Pettigrew was alive, and did see Harry and Hermione twice...that 
was what he really meant when he said he thought the map was 
malfunctioning.

 As to who is acting, suppose Snape knew that Lupin had been a 
Death Eater, but was and is prevented from revealing this by the 
Fidelius Charm. If Voldemort were Lupin's secret keeper, then 
only he could reveal that Lupin is his spy. Obviously Voldemort  
didn't protect all his DE's  this way, but is there anything to say 
that none of them were?

Suppose then that Snape distrusts Lupin but  is  not sure where 
his current loyalties lie -- until the night of the Shack. Snape does 
believe everything he is told by Dumbledore regarding Sirius's 
innocence. But Peter's escape proves to him that Lupin is still a 
loyal DE, and that's why Snape outs Lupin as a werewolf.

Throws a different light on everything, doesn't it?
