Because Hermione had a excellent and logical reason for telling the
others in the Shack that Lupin was a werewolf, but Snape did not have
a valid reason to insult Lilly. For years everybody had been telling
Hermione that werewolfs were no good but she liked Lupin and figured
they were wrong, so she covered for him. However for a brief time in
the Shack it seemed that Lupin was working for Voldemort; in that
instant she must have thought they were right after all and she was
wrong, an entirely understandable reaction. I would have done the same.
