Carol:
I don't understand your position here. Are you assuming that Snape
knew that Sirius was not the Secret Keeper? How is that possible? I
doubt that Peter revealed his secret about the Potters in front of
Snape or any other DE (if we can count Snape as a DE when he was in
fact a spy for Dumbledore). 

At any rate, Snape's behavior throughout PoA indicates that he, like
Dumbledore himself, thought that Sirius was the Secret Keeper/traitor
and the murderer of twelve Muggles--a very dangerous man from whom all
of the students, and Harry in particular, needed to be protected.
