Alla:

So I wonder then do you think McGonagall, Flitwick **and** Sprout were 
doing worse jobs as stand in parents by not telling their students 
about Lupin?

Or could it be that they respected wishes of their boss who it seems 
like told staff not to tell anybody about Lupin's condition?

Unless Snape is Lupin boss I do not think it is up to him to make the 
determination who should lose the job and who does not, IMO of course.

But what can I say? I **hope** karma catches up with Snape. I **hope** 
that no generation of Hogwarts students will suffer his wrath ever 
again.

Alla:

Awww, give Snape some credit, Betsy. <g>. He did his part, me thinks. 
at least one former teacher has no chances to teach anymore because of 
him and has a good chance to starve **because of him** and Umbridge of 
course.

It is my opinion of course, but I do not think that Lupin transforming 
on that  night means that he should be forbidden to teach ever again.
