I think it's a mistake to categorize Sirius based on just what we know about
the "prank". As of the end of book 4, we know nothing about Sirius before
the  death of James and Lily Potter. My view is that if James and Lily asked
to be their secret keeper, he must have been a trustworthy person. Which he
was.

I seriously doubt if anyone reading this list would care to be categorized
by one stupid thing that they did when they were 16. It wouldn't be fair.
Nor, in my opinion, is it fair to diss Sirius.
