I'm suddenly reminded of the New Testament parable of the  ungrateful 
servant, whose huge debt is canceled by his master but who  throws 
the man who owns him a small amount into prison when this man can't  
pay it back. Snape, a former Death-eater, saved from Azkaban by  
Dumbledore, wants to deliver Lupin (whose personal debt to him is  
relatively small compared to the crimes committed by the average  
Death-eater) to the Dementors, possibly to be Kissed. In the 
parable,  the ungrateful servant's fate is not happy. For Snape's 
sake, I really do  hope the analogy isn't intentional.

You weren't the only one who was reminded of that parable!  But I 
am starting to notice that Snape seems to have this problem with 
all the Marauders and Harry too!  Dumbledore forgave his DE  status,
for reasons unknown, but Snape can't seem to forgive ANYONE in 
return.  If nothing else it would seem Snape would at least TRY  to
be civil to the other Order members, knowing that they haven't ever
been on the "dark side" (although I know Pippin would disagree on 
that account), at least that we know of.  If anything it seems  Snape
should be grateful for his second chance, but it seems that he's not
too worried about sharing the wealth of forgiveness so to speak.

 
Chancie~ who can't wait for HBP, to (hopefully) find out what makes
Dumbledore so willing to accept Snape and trust him so  completely!
