Aggie:

You've really got me on this one!  It's a fab thought provoking 
quandry!  Which, I'm sure, was your intention! 

I keep arguing with myself on my latest theory!! Somebody please help 
me!!!

One possibility is that Snape kept quiet because there was nothing to 
tell!  Dumbledore and staff knew about Lupin's condition and 
therefore there was no-one to tell!  My counter argument is (and i'm 
sure loads of you out there are shouting it at your screens!)  that 
many parents would not appreciate a werewolf amongst the students.  
Therefore he could have told the MoM.  Do we know who was in charge 
at this time? Would it be Fudge or would it still be Crouch Snr? How 
much weight did Lucius Malfoy have at this time?  He would have LOVED 
to have known about this as it would have gone towards discrediting 
DD.  Perhaps this was why he kept quiet, he didn't want to get DD in 
trouble, but then why the fierce loyalty?!? Do we think DD is some 
family relation? Perhaps DD saved Snape from the man who abused him.
OH I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!  ;-)
