<Lots more snipped>

er, do we know that Snape was supposed to deliver the potion to Lupin
personally?  I rather doubt that he would--having delivered it the
once  that we know about seems highly uncharacteristic of him.  I see
it more like this:

<Snape, sitting in his office stirring a cauldron of Wolfsbane>  "Am I
supposed to sit here and stir this all night, or is the werewolf going
to hurry up and come get it already?"  
<more stirring>
"Maybe he forgot.  Maybe he'll transform here in the castle and start
eating students!"  
<imagines Lupin slaughtering Neville Longbottom.  Chuckles.>
"But what if Potter finds out and tries to subdue him and save
everyone...stupid strutting brat....then I'd have to save him again,
and I had other plans for the evening.  Besides, I'm sure if someone
gets killed, everyone will find a way to blame *me*.  It's not fair;
just because I'm a DeathEater and have an unpleasant personality, I
get blamed for everything!"
<ponders the unfairness of life>
"And what if he killed a Slytherin?  Dumbledore would probably make me
tell the little rodent's parents what a wonderful student he or she
was.  The mother might cry."
<feels ill>
"I suppose I had better take it down to him.  I have to do everything
around this place.  Nobody appreciates me.  I go to the trouble of
brewing this fiendishly difficult potion, just so Lupin doesn't kill
anyone, and he doesn't even have the decency to come get it himself. 
Does he think I'm his errand boy?"
<ladles some potion into a goblet and trots up to Lupin's office,
composing a few caustic remarks along the way>
<arrives at Lupin's office; sees map>
"Merlin's balls!  He *is* going to kill Potter!  There go my plans for
the evening!  Oh, if only Potter *pere* hadn't saved me from the
werewolf in the first place, I wouldn't be in this mess!"

Yeah, like that, only with fewer exclamation points.
