Honestly, even in the face of the situation, Remus wanted to do nothing more than laugh as hard as he could when Snape showed up looking like a smirky git with the howler in hand. When Remus saw who it was from, it took everything in him to keep from letting that laughter out. Really, Malfoy? This was what Malfoy reduced to, having a verbal temper tantrum? Remus flipped the howler open before it started to smirk and listened to the other hiss poison and spit anger.

"Oh dear, it seems that little student prank really got Malfoy angry, doesn't it?" Not about to admit doing anything wrong to Snape, but he was almost afraid his expression would give it away. "Seems he has isn't thinking very clearly about the fact that someone might have just been going after his boy and got him as well. Silly childish prank."

James and Sirius would have adored it.
