Pippin:
Lupin  "But I do not forget that during the year I taught at Hogwarts,
Severus made the Wolfsbane Potion for me every month, made it
perfectly, so that I did not have to suffer as I usually do at full
moon...He kept me healthy. I must be grateful."

I can hardly imagine that Lupin would have chosen to drink the 
potion, and thought he should be grateful for it,  if he thought 
the only thing keeping Snape from poisoning him was fear of 
Dumbledore. LOL!

Pippin:
Of course I am talking about before the tower.

And yet...you wonder  that Dumbledore should not have
given Sirius the benefit of the doubt,  and come to his defense 
even when there was ample evidence that Sirius had betrayed the 
Potters and the testimony of many witnesses that he had murdered 
not one but thirteen people? 

Yes, Harry has been hoodwinked by Snape, the question is, were
he and the rest of the order hoodwinked by DE!Snape  for six 
years, or was it just once, by DDM!Snape, on the tower. 
Which is more plausible?

Pippin
noticing that Lupin did indeed thank Severus very much for
the potion
