Within the universe of the book? Because Lupin's forgetting his potion is a classic idiot plot point: JKR only did it so that she could set up the climactic scene. Which means she didn't bother considering the ramifications for Lupin's characterization, because to her mind it was just a convenient way to get Lupin from Point A (a good, intelligent Hogwarts professor) to Point B (a dumbass who nearly kills several people out of negligence) to Point C (out of Harry's life, because God forbid Harry have any adults he can rely on around him).

By readers? The series is rife with inconsistent characterizations and idiot plots (the above being only one example), so each reader is basically forced to pick and choose which parts to take seriously and which parts to ignore.

He didn't just forget, he saw the map with Sirius and Pettigrew's names on it.
