Exactly because we don't really know why Sirius did it to Snape, 
nothing stops me from being full-blooded Sirius fan. :o)
I believe that Sirius had a reason to do what he did, which will be 
disclosed later. Not necessarily the reason,which will justify the 
famous Prank, but a reason, which will make us sympathize with 
Sirius. I believe that Severus somehow hurt Sirius or someone close 
to him badly enough and Sirius reacted without thinking things 
through. I may be very wrong, of course, but in any event I am 
withholding my judgment of Sirius' behaviour till I know more about 
the relationship between Marauders and Snape.
I like Sirius  a lot. Probably because I originally come from the 
country, where millions of innocent people  were unjustly imprisoned 
and many of them not survived the prison, this character, who 
survived the unjust imprisonment and did not lost the ability to 
love, is very special to me. To tell you the truth, prank makes me 
like Sirius even more. Not because I like the consequences of this 
incident, but because I think that in spite of him saying the 
opposite, Sirius is sorry for what he did and is going to admit it 
later in the books.
As for choosing between Sirius and Severus, can I have them both in 
the life threatening situation? Those two (and Harry) are my absolute 
favourites in the books.

Hi, everybody! I was lurking long enough and finally decided to 
introduce myself to the list. I hope my writing is easy enough to 
understand, since English is my second language.
