Potioncat:  I can't think of anything else myself, but I agree with 
you.  This is too similar to the taunting from 5th year!  

Now, Snape had embarrassed Neville at he beginning of the class.  So 
the drag image may have been Lupin's way of getting back.  I still 
think Snape was "telling" Lupin something when he reminded him that 
Neville Longbottom was in the class.

Potioncat:
I really think Lupin, nice as he is, was negligent.  He really put 
Harry and the school at risk several times.
