that none of the teachers ever call eachother by their first names in 
front of the students. Snape certainly doesn't. He might call 
McGonegal 'Minerva' in private, but he wouldn't do so in front of the 
students. It's professional courtesy in part, just like, and part of, 
the fact that the teachers will form a unity in front of the 
students. By denying that professional courtesy, by denying him his 
title of 'professor', Lupin is *very* passive-agressive.

Actually, Dumbledore addresses professors by first name in front of 
students (at least Harry's crew) fairly often.  Actually, Dumbledore 
is nearly unique among the professors in that he often addresses 
students by their first names, too.
