Sirius' "joke" on Snape

[Marijose D?az]

Hi there!

First of all, Ive been on this group only for a
couple of weeks. My name is Marijose and Im from
Mexico. BTW, if you find any grammatical mistake or
notice that I have a different name for any magical
object or spell, I ask for an apology beforehand. My
native language is Spanish and I read the first three
books in that language. ^^

And now, about the question...
Well, weve only have mere hints about the
relationship of the Marauders with Snape, and they are
dispersed along the four books. We know that Snape
hated James for being really good at Quidditch,
bending the rules, etc.  Then, by the conversation
held on Hogsmeade between McGonagall, Hagrid and Filch
(I think), it seems that the relationship between
James and Snape was similar to the one that exists
between Harry and Malfoy. 

Sirius, IMO, was the most reckless of the Marauders.
Also, he was James' best friend. Imagine that Snape
behaved to James just like Malfoy behaves to Harry. I
can picture Ron not only disliking Malfoy, but maybe
even hating him. It is logical that maybe Sirius also
disliked, even hated, Snape, but unlike Ron, he wanted
to "prank" him first instead of waiting for his next
"attack". 

Remember that James and Sirius chose in which animals
they would change considering that they might need to
control Lupin any time. Maybe Sirius thought that, if
things went out of control, both James and he could
stop Lupin and rescue Snape... if he ever thought
things could go out of hand.

That playing that "joke" on Snape was careless and
stupid is something I won't question. But also,
remember what Lupin said. They were young, they were
foolish, hey, they even visited Hogsmeade by night in
spite of the risk Lupin might pose for someone else.
When you're young, you make many mistakes, and when it
has something to do with your best friends, believe
me, you become a bit blinded -experience talking. ^^U

Any thoughts? 

Misbehave,
Marijose
