Alla:

That's ALL that counts? Certainly not to me, because  what if dear 
Snape was brewing this potion under direct orders from Dumbledore, 
and the penalty would be, oh, I don't know, let's say - do it or 
lose your job. In this little speculation I see absolutely nothing 
that Remus should be grateful to Snape for, but only to Dumbledore.

Because in this situation Snape loses A LOT if he refuses to brew 
this potion, even if he much prefer not to do so.
 
JMO,
Alla.
