I don't think that's really an example of the trio unfairly blaming
snape for something.  Whatever his motives, he was apparently about to
feed Sirius to the Dementors.  They were interested in stopping him,
not in laying blame.

However, in PoA Harry does assume that Snape is trying to poison
Lupin, when in fact Snape is helping Lupin by making the Wolfsbane
potion.
