Why? 'Cause Sirius had just joined the Junior Death Eaters League, 
and Remus found out, that's why!  Sirius had the perfect cover-up 
there: if Snape killed Remus, then Remus couldn't talk.  And if 
Remus killed Snape -- who was going to believe a murderous 
werewolf?  And Snape, being a JDEL member himself, was in no 
position to rat him out.

There you have it: Sirius Black Is Ever So Evil.  Can I get my 
FLYING HEDGEHOG badge now?  I think it will go really well with my 
Exploding SNAP badge and my FEATHERBOA made from a Pink Flamingo.
