Oh , I do believe he thought before acting. This "prank" seems to 
have been a pretty calculating thing to do. I don't think it was some 
spontaneous idea that came to his mind one day. To me , it looks like 
something he had carefully planned before it was finally carried out.

When you think about it , the whole thing would have been less 
dangerous for Lupin if Severus had actually been killed by the 
werewolf . Since nobody except Dumbledore , Pomfrey and the Marauders 
knew Remus's secret , Dumbledore could have easily invented some 
explanation for Snape's death. I don't think he would have given out 
that Lupin transformed into a werewolf every month.
How Remus himself would have suffered if he had actually killed 
someone is a completely different question which Sirius probably 
didn't ponder about.

Then , why didn't Sirius tell James about the prank ? I had always 
assumed that ALL the Marauders loved to play pranks on Snape. So why 
did he decide to do this one on his own ? 
My answer : Because he knew that James wouldn't have approved of his 
plan ! I honestly believe that James had no idea what Sirius was up 
to until he was told by someone (possibly Peter or Lily) only a few 
minutes before the actual thing happened. 

BTW , it seems like Sirius still hates Snape so much for what he did 
when they were at school (whatever that was) , that he doesn't regret 
what he did back then.
