Sirius just used Snape's curiousity against him. Sirius says so 
in POA.<

The Marauders were breaking school rules and wizarding law 
and *deserved* to be expelled for what they were doing, as 
Sirius knew quite well. Snape following them to try to find out 
what they were up to is no different than Harry and his friends 
entering the third floor corridor to try to keep Snape (as they 
thought) from stealing the stone.

No, Snape was breaking the rules also, so he deserved to be as expelled as 
the Marauders did. Snape isn't an innocent bystander he chose to spy on them and 
he chose to be like Draco, who tried to get Harry and Ron expelled. I have 
always said, I like the characters of Remus, Sirius and Snape, and that seems to 
be partly what drives these books is that relationship, because it is playing 
out with Draco and Harry, Ron and Hermione. oh, By the way, Harry and his 
friends wouldn't have been at that third floor corridor had there not been a 
challenge by Draco and his friends.
