I have always assumed that, even though Lupin has a rather strained 
relationship with Snape, his is much better than Sirius.  Lupin does 
not tend to get into a shouting match everytime he speaks with 
Snape.  Of the two of them, Lupin seems more even-tempered, and a 
more natural to talk to Snape.  

As for Lupin being mad or bitter towards Harry, I do not thing he 
will be.  After all, if the members of the Order had told Harry more 
about what LV was planning, Harry might not have been so gung-ho to 
believe all the images implanted.  Not to offend all the Snape fans 
at there, but if I were Lupin, I would be angerier at Snape.  Harry 
is a teenager, prone to fits of anger and stubborness.  As an adult 
and since he knew a little bit more about what LV was planning than 
Harry (all of the Order did) he should have taken more steps to 
secure Harry's occlumency lessons.  Granted, Harry upset him, but he 
knew more about the danger awaiting Harry...

I don't know if someone has said that before, but thats just my 
opinion.

Steffy, hoping she doesn't get massacred for criticizing Snape
