Ummm, hate to disturb the Prank again, but we don't know what exactly 
went on in Sirius' head that night, we don't know whether he was 
happily planning to turn Snape over to werewolf, or scare him badly. 
(Which of course does not excuse him at all, but by the same token 
does not make him to be attempted murderer, who yes indeed was 15 :o))

We also don't know whether Sirius had some understandable reasons to 
plot revenge against Snape (not JUSTIFIABLE, mind you , but 
UNDERSTANDABLE. Like some posters speculated that Snape could have 
something to do with Regilus recrutment to DE).

We don't know a lot about events of that night and I was so happy to 
read from JKR that we will learn more eventually.


At the same time, we saw full events of PoA Shrieking Shack and I 
still cannot draw the fair comparison yet because of the lack of 
information.
