I think you are right on target.  Their tempers are similar.  IMO, 
the loathing they have for each other must be based on something 
deeper than that childhood prank- but of course, I could be wrong.  
Childhood hurts can run very deep.  And when one has a tendency 
to "hold" onto resentments-its easy to  keep the hurt fresh in your 
mind.  I believe that both Snape and Black have exhibited this 
tendency.  It can be argued that Black has a greater justification 
for his inability to "let things go" due to his injust imprisonment.  
When you are driven by revenge, and that is all you can see, 
reasoning flies out the window.  IMO, both Snape and Black have 
exhibited this behavior.
