I have a hard time thinking it was *just* a childish prank. Snape 
could have been killed, it's that simple. It's like a present day 16 
year old pulling a loaded gun on an enemy for a prank. Not 
acceptable under any circumstances. And what's worse is that Sirius 
never seemed to regret it. 

I don't think the shack changed Sirius but I agree it may have been 
a wake up call for James. It was too late to change his and Snapes 
relationship but still caused a change for the better. 

I see the way Sirius treated Lupin was that He is the only friend 
left from the old days. Sirius seems a "Glory Day's" kind of guy. 
Lupin is a reminder if the days when the three of them were cocks of 
the walk. He shares the memories of those fun times, before James' 
death and Azkaban. Sirius continues to want things like they were by 
treating Harry like James and then lamenting Harry's lack of an 
adventurous spirit.
