I had this whole nice response planned out when I realized something: Snape & Lupin both rushed out to the shack because of what they saw on the map. Since Snape had come to see Lupin because he forgot his potion, and Snape was only about 15min behind Lupin getting to the shack, Lupin must have been late taking his meds before he found out about Peter. I never noticed that before.
BTW, Lupin was already on record as being a werewolf. That was the point of him looking so shabby on the train. No-one wanted to hire a werewolf so he had a hard time finding a job. Keeping it on the QT at Hogwarts was to keep the parents from complaining. (Pg 356 hardcover "he [Dumbledore] gave me a job when I have been shunned all my adult life, unable to find paid work because of what I am.")
