2. The Mauraders talking -- and not just a simple "Hi, How are you"
talk, they talk about Lupin being a werewolf! And I believe Snape
was a few feet behind them or something. I always assumed, from PoA,
that Snape never found out about Lupin's true nature when he was at
Hogwarts. If he did by any chance, I would say around Year 6 or 7,
not earlier. And as we all know, OWLs are written at the end of 5th
year. This leads me to believe that if Snape indeed heard about
Lupin being a werewolf, he would've been SO *delighted* -- it was one
of his must-fulfill missions!! Do you think it's possible that
his "unconscious" senses picked up something that his conscious mind
had been DYING to find out for so long? And it went unnoticed?!?!
Do you guys know when Sirius' prank took place?

I think that you are right that the penseive will come back in book 6 
and 7. I wrote a few months ago that I beleived that the kids may 
even put some of their own memories to view in an unobjective way.  
They may be able to glean information that way.

Also, I recently reread "Snape's" penseive memories as well.  Did you 
notice that Harry noticed that Lupin was looking strange, and he 
wondered whether the full moon was approaching?  I think that the 
prank happened that night, after the OWL examinations.
