Interesting idea. I do wonder about his motives, though. He may
already have been in process of joining Voldemort's side at the time.
How about this? He helps Sirius out with the prank, perhaps even
sparks the idea, thinking he'll take Sirus *and* Remus out along with
Severus, then gleefully tells a Death Eater friend of his. He then is
told that Snape is being looked at for possible recruitment, (or even
that he currently is a Death Eater, perhaps in Voldie's inner circle)
and runs to James to bail himself out with Voldemort...
