Potioncat:
I took it that Snape and Lupin were doing their "secret meaning 
conversation" just like they did over the Map.  "if you need more" 
means "The next 6 doses are ready and you need to take them too."  
and "I should probably take some again tomorrow." means "I know that 
you greasy git."

I'm not sure if Lupin is ESE or not.  But I keep thinking about 
the "Snape is a bad teacher debates" that come up and how often he 
is compared to the wonderful teacher Crouch!Moody.  And I think how 
similar Lupin and C!M are.
