Lupin was not spying on the werewolves. Important distinction here. 
He was trying to convince them that their leader is a psychotic who's 
allied them with a sociopath, and blindly following said leaders will 
lead only to disaster. Not that they were listening, as Greyback is 
apparently a powerful personality and he does unfortunately have a 
point about the general attitudes toward werewolves. But now that 
Greyback's (at least temporarily) out of the picture, maybe the 
werewolves will listen to reason.
