Ahhhh lets get all warm and fuzzy shall we, instead. 

Prejudice against werewolves and prejudice against the otherwise 
kind good people who suffer the affliction are different things. One 
is fairly rational behaviour, the other is... well something 
different.
It is understandably difficult for Sevvie to differentiate the two, 
given his experiences, but it is not impossible. 
The sad thing about the scene where Snape throws to what is IMHO a 
deliberate confusion between Lupin and his unfortunate affliction, 
is the irony. An opportunity for Snape went begging.
