I believe that Lupin DID pull 
off miracle as in he made Neville laugh at his biggest fear. I don't 
remember anywhere in the books Neville laughing at Snape again.

What I DO remember is how FAST he became one of the best DADA 
students when teacher employed  the style directly opposite to what 
Snape does.

Sherry adds:
And to add to Alla and Jerry, no defense of Snape's abysmal people skills as
a teacher can excuse his publicly humiliating Neville at the beginning of
the boggart DADA lesson.  That was so outrageous and sends my blood boiling
every time I read it.  Snape mocked a student in front of his class and
another teacher in a viciously unkind manner.
