Jen: I've read this argument before, but how do we know Dumbledore 
was even involved? Remind me if I'm missing something huge, but the 
only information I remember was in PS, when Dumbledore told Harry 
that James saved Snape once upon a time. We don't know when Snape 
divulged this information, or even IF Snape was the one who told 
him. James could have told Dumbledore just as easily, and several 
years after the fact.

I think the Prank was between the boys, and that Snape is hiding 
something major about the incident.
