eternal_riddle:
I think that the shape of a Boggart changes through the life of a 
person, so we can talk only about the shape of a Boggart at a 
certain time, lets assume end of OoP.
Black's Boggart could very well be a dementor after the 12 years he 
has spent in Azkaban. His Patronus could be a stag since James was 
the person he trusted most in his life. 
When it comes to Snape, his Boggart should be rather Sirius than 
James if it is one of them. If I'm honest, I don't think it is 
either of them. What Snape should fear most at the moment is being 
exposed as a spy be some DE. 
Snape's Patronus could be DD. When it comes to Snape, we really don't 
know that much about him, so it is very hard to judge. It could be 
his mother because she could have protected him against his father, 
who knows?
