Lyra now:
Yes, Alex, exactly. That's what I was trying to convey, and utterly 
failed to way back on this thread. Snape's job is only that of 
pharmacist, dispensing the medication. Presumabley, DD didn't tell 
him to be a nurse (or mom), chasing Lupin down and spoonfeeding him 
his potion. (And if DD did expect Severus to take on that role, Snape 
for once has every right to be his usual resentful self.) Snape 
probably told Lupin to come by his office after classes were 
dismissed, or maybe he uses that nifty floo powder trick to let Lupin 
know it's ready, but it's Lupin's responsibility to get the stuff and 
drink it (IMO).
