I agree that the use of the phrase "childhood prank" was inadequate.  
Perhaps the term, werewolf incident, would be better.  I apologize.  
However, given from what you said above, we do agree that something 
occured between  Sirius and Snape pre-Hogwarts.  IMO, I am also 
begining to contemplate a connection between Snape and James prior to 
Hogwarts.  Three more books to fill in the gaps!!
