Apparently, outing someone's extremely stigmatised condition to their entire school is fine if it means proving to your crush that her housemates suck more than yours. Who was trying to out Remus to the school? The one who created that situation was Sirius. Severus in his school days only ever attempted to out Remus to Lily. Lucius didn't know up to POA. It seems even Voldemort never found out, not even by Legilimency, or he would have used the information to finish Dumbleodre's career. (Of course in POA Severus outs Remus completely, as Remus fully deserved, because he proved himself irresponsible and uncooperative with the measures that kept students and villagers safe from him.)
'She sides with them again' - Didn't you say somewhere that you don't even have these books anymore? Because, IIRC, she stuck up for him when literally no-one else would and demanded they leave him alone, despite him having already spouted racist language around the school. Looking like she was going to smile for a second seems kinda small compared to him calling her a racist slur. Her whole behavior in that scene before Severus' racist slur was a betrayal of Severus. Her near-laughter, her inaction to stop his choking and paying so much attention to James while ignoring Severus. Most people who read the scene before DH thought Lily didn't know who Severus was from her behavior in that scene. She was not acting as his friend.
