Snape should not have done what he did, and definitely needs to learn 
some people skills!  However, Black's death does not lie with him and 
Harry needs to be told that quickly and if he confronts Snape about 
it needs to be set straight...part of the blame must go to Black 
himself, who ran off to the MOM and tried to save the day instead of 
sitting tight like Dumbledore told him to do.  Again, I have to 
stress that we are only seeing things through Harry's perspective so 
we don't know what Snape did after Harry told him of his vision.  

The other point I think is important is that in the whomping willow 
incident, Black almost sent two people to their deaths - Snape and 
Lupin.  Lupin would have been put down for sure if he had killed a 
student, no matter who it was.  Did Black think that far out?  No, 
his only concern was to get back at Snape for spying on the 
Marauders.  And no, we don't know what punishment Black received for 
that, but that definitely warranted more than a detention or two in 
my book...at the very least he would have owed both Snape and Lupin 
an apology...but I bet Lupin got one...
