Snape, Sirius and The Prank...

       I agree that we don't know all there is to know about The Prank. A lot 
of what's been said doesn't add up. I like Ellen's suggestion that Peter may 
have been behind it. My biggest question, though, is why was Snape harassing 
and following them? The implication, that the relationships resemble that of 
the current trio, is Snape = Malfoy. But still doesn't explain why, aside 
from House hostility. Harry & Draco have a family history and background that 
triggers their actions. James, at least, should have had some relative 
freedom to wander. We're told he was Head Boy in his final year, which 
implies that he was also a Prefect earlier. I suspect that perhaps Sirius 
was, too. I can't see Lupin as a prefect considering his...little 
problem...and Peter doesn't seem the type, not to mention the general 
disparagement he seems to have received from the teachers...something about 
wishing they'd been nicer to him. So, why *was* Snape harassing a Prefect, 
and one of a different house, moreover.

       Cheryl, who thinks *both* sides in that quarrel need to apologize...
