Remus himself would've had something to say. "Sirius, *why* did
you do it? You *know* my worst fear is harming another person while in
werewolf form, and I almost *killed* Severus. How could you put me 
through
that?!"


Me:

THIS is my biggest, 'can't get past' problem with Sirius. Even if I 
couldn't tolerate Snape *at all* I don't think I could get past the 
fact that he put Remus in that position. Remus was given the Shack 
and the Willow by DD most likely against a huge outcry to protect him 
from doing EXACTLY WHAT Black set him up to do to Severus. 
Now if Remus was "just another student" and Sirius was "just that 
hothead" I might be able to go along with the, "he didn't mean it he 
just didn't think it out" excuse. But sorry. Remus is one of his BEST 
FRIENDS. He knew the deal, he knew why the SS and the WW were in 
existance and HE BLEW IT. He almost DESTROYED HIS FRIEND'S LIFE.  Add 
to that he almost murdered a student, despite anyone's opinion of 
that student or what that student may or may not have done 
to "deserve" or "have it coming" and you have a character that I 
can't trust as far as I could throw. 
(And yes I know someone here is going to post "but he didn't". Don't 
bother. I don't care. He wanted to, whether he thought about the 
final consequences or not, there was at least a minute where, yes, he 
wanted Severus to get the sharp end of that tooth.)
Of course this also begs the question...who was James *really* 
saving, Severus or Remus?

I'm going to hazard a guess here that Severus HAD figured out what 
was going on and had told the golden boys that he was going to expose 
Remus to the entire school in some spectacular manner--so Sirius 
probably decided to head him off and do it for him, making him 
(Severus) the star of his own show. Unfortunately, that show is a two-
man act. 

Mel, who can't get past "Serious(ly) Black" either but that's a 
whole 'nother topic
