"Served him right?"  When do we ourselves make that comment?
Usually it's when something happens to somebody who deserves it,
_But_that_we_didn't_do_ourselves._  Theory or no therory, we
don't know all there is to the Prank story, and need to hold 
judgement on both Snape and Black until we get it.

Thing is, D'dore expressly credits James with saving Severus' life.
I'm not so sure he would have done that if James had simply
chickened out of a deadly prank.
