zanooda:

This is exactly what I believe myself, but I didn't dare to write
"Snape saved Lupin", because there is just not enough canon to support
this idea. The chase scene is described very briefly in the memories,
and there is nothing in it suggesting that the DE swerved etc. Your
(and mine :-)) scenario seems very probable, but still, the DE could
have missed Lupin for some other reason than his desire to avoid
Snape's "accidental" Sectumsempra.
