Remus neither likes or dislikes Severus. As with everyone else, then?
I do appreciate that from time to time Lupin brings Harry the reality check and quietly demands that he pay his own way, as in this example:
"You are determined to hate him, Harry", said Lupin with a faint smile. "And I understand; with James as your father, with Sirius as your godfather, you have inherited an old prejudice. By all means tell Dumbledore what you have told Arthur and me, but do not expect him to share your view on the matter; do not even expect him to be surprised by what you tell him."
He then commences discussing with Harry his undercover work with Greyback's crew; to someone who's risking his life & sanity on a daily basis, Harry's bitching about Snape must seem a particularly annoying misalignment of priorities to Remus.
The Minister takes rather a long time to ask Harry to support the Ministry, so that everyone might be reassured by them, having the Chosen One supporting them and all.
Interesting how Scrimgeour doesn't seem AT ALL impressed by Harry ("So you're not 'The Chosen One'?") and flat out states that Dumbledore is using him ("Well, it is clear to me that he has done a very good job on you"). He makes a point to inform Harry of his utility as as a tool to manipulate the masses, but Harry's too stupid indignant to see where Scrimgeour's conversation is potentially going – that it's actually Dumbledore who's using him in this regard.
