I seriously doubt Snape would've been resorted after the prank.  
That happened in their their sixth year, IIRC.  There's no way that 
a Gryffindor transferring to Slytherin so late in the game would get 
accepted by the incredibly insular and prejudiced Slytherin crowd.  
Certainly not enough to be "part of a gang."  

The whole resorting theory looks like a yellow flag violation to me, 
I'm afraid.  We've never heard of anyone being resorted.  McGonagall 
clearly states that the sorting determines your home for the next 
seven years and we're told that the Sorting Hat is never wrong; 
Neville is convinced during the first year that he doesn't belong in 
Gryffindor, yet the idea of a resorting never occurs to him; and 
students are sorted on the basis of their inner natures, not on the 
basis of how well they'll get along with their roommates.  Snape is 
a Slytherin.  He was always a Slytherin.
