Now me:

This is the bit that really gets me about the prank.
Sirius sends a person that is known to be good at curses after/to one 
of his friends Lupin, I know that it has been said that this could 
have resulted in Lupin becoming a murderer or responsible for turning 
someone into a werewolf - however I have always thought that Lupin 
was in as much danger from Snape as Snape is from him in this prank. 
If things had got bad Snape could have used one of these curses and 
this could have lead to injury or death to Lupin.

I know that the danger that the prank put Snape in was bad and wrong 
of Sirius - but they didn't like each other ( not an excuse but...)
Know Lupin is supposed to be Sirius' friend and not does the prank 
expose Lupins truth to Snape , but it puts him in danger or 
unintentionally becoming a murderer or inflicting the werewolf curse 
on someone, and it also puts him in physical danger too - its kinda 
like with friends like these who need enemies?
