It's pointedly noted that Snape skipped to a chapter way at the end of the book when he taught the lesson, and several students told him that they weren't "that far ahead yet". It was the beginning of term, basically. This is what you call ball-dropping? Snape was being a petty trashbag as usual, nothing more.

Snape turned out to be completely justified in giving everyone an early heads up, Lupin was incompetent in managing his condition. Everyone in that school ought to have been given information in how to handle werewolfism when a werewolf started. Plus we can be certain that Lupin was almost certainly going to massage that information anyway. Snape was still justified by his later confirmed suspicion that Lupin could not responsibly manage his condition, and if that had happened earlier before Snape had given an essential safety briefing then we'd be looking at a high death toll and lots of infected people.

Retroactive sentencing doesn't work here, Snape had no reason to believe Lupin would ever skip his potion given that the circumstances around him doing so were beyond extraordinary. Moreover, they weren't taught how to handle werewolfism, he taught them how to kill a werewolf (this is literally what the essay was about), and I'm extremely disturbed by anyone finding that justifiable.

There's also absolutely no reason to believe Lupin was going to skip the lesson on werewolves altogether. What the books make clear is that the world's stance on werewolves is wildly bigoted, disgusting and unfair - and Lupin could've had the chance to teach his class about werewolves in the humane way they should be taught about. Snape took that chance from him and perpetuated the disgusting bigotry while doing so.

There are no ways in which this was not a dick move.

*retroactive justice, not sentencing

and Lupin could've had the chance to teach his class about werewolves in the humane way they should be taught about.

I've never really thought about that element of it before. God he is a terrible person. :)( (Although I'm not fond of Dumbledore for getting people into these situations and subjecting years of kids to people like Snape - and worse - either.)
