I don't think the prank had happened yet.  I'm not sure if it's canon

be that by 7th year he had changed, which leads me to believe the 
prank was in 6th year.

Whether he knew the nicknames at the OWLS, I 'm not sure. But I'm 
sure he knew them by the map incident.  Knowing the names wouldn't 
mean he knew why the names fit.

SB4E:

It is not canon.  No where in the books has it said when the prank took place, but I don't agree that the prank is what changed James.  I think that it is just a matter of James growing up.  I don't think that James, even at his most reckless would stand back and watch Severus be killed by werewolf Lupin...because that would not only make him an accessory to murder and Sirius a murderer...but it would get another friend, Lupin, into serious trouble and probably kicked out of school.  I think that James...regardless of how much he disliked Severus...would not have let him be killed if he could stop it.  It's just not in his nature.  And, honestly, I don't think that Sirius meant for Severus to be killed...I just think that he didn't think the whole thing through.  But that is just my take on Sirius' personality.  He hated Severus, yes, but he wasn't prepared to kill him...he just didn't think about what he was doing.  He probably thought that Severus could get out in time.  So, until
 it is stated somewhere, I still think that the prank took place prior to the OWLs.
