werewolf, he never really thought about the effects on Lupin himself, 
or the consequences.  At that point, I don't think he'd seen any 
murderous rages or anything.)

It's totally in character for Snape to be a snoop, and obviously he 
DID do it (it's very easy to be sure with hindsight on your side!).

been a turning point for Sirius.  Dumbledore seems to be the king of 
deftly-crafted guilt trips, with Lupin as his crown prince.  Between 
the two of them (and James, who was obviously ticked), I'm betting 
money Sirius got some major emotional torture afterwards.  But the 
fact it was so childish and so crude leads me to think he didn't 
spend hours coming up with ways to lure Snape.

Alla:

Oh, I in case you haven't noticed I love Sirius dearly,despite his 
numerous flaws.

I have very simple answer to why he did not consider the implications 
of the Prank on Remus - he ,as Padfoot hang out with Remus every 
motnh and it was perfectly safe, well, he may not stop and think that 
it may not be safe for other people.


I don't think he planned the Prank at all. I may speculate that he 
acted on the impulse (may be he wanted revenge for something Snape 
did to him, I don't know), but no, I don't think that it was 
deliberately and carefully planned.
