Neri:
I expected this kind of reply.

Fenrir Greyback attacked Hogwarts as a DE, one of a DEs squad, in an
operation planned by DEs, not by werewolves. The werewolves cannot be
blamed for Greyback's actions. We know of many more DEs who are *not*
werewolves than the one who is. 

We don't have any indication that any other werewolf had known in
advance about the operation. Most likely the only way in which Lupin
could have learned about it was if he had very good relations with
Greyback himself (kind of difficult with their mutual history). Snape
OTOH could have learned about the operation from Draco, Voldemort
and/or a whole bunch of other DEs who took part in it and appear to
respect Snape a lot, including Greyback himself, who seems "cowed" in
Snape's presence.

Besides, Lupin at least never brags about being an agent, he never
uses it as an excuse to slither away from battle, and Order members
don't risk their lives or die so Lupin can maintain his cover.
