Hey Alla, I'll jump in and answer this, which is the point where we 
are supposed to believe Snape entered in on the conversation:

[From "Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs," page 352, American 
paperback]
 
"If you're going to tell the story, get a move on, Remus," snarled 
Black, who was still watching Scabbers's every desperate move. "I've 
waited twelve years, I'm not going to wait much longer."

"All right, but you'll need to help me, Sirius," said Lupin. "I only 
know how it began..."

Lupin broke off. There had been a loud creak behind him. The bedroom 
door had opened of its own accord. All five of them stared at it. 
Then Lupin strode toward it and looked out into the landing.

"No one there..."

"This place is haunted!" said Ron. 


[snipped the rest of the chapter in which Lupin explains the shack 
is not haunted, as well as his werewolf transformations, the 
whomping willow, the animagi and the "prank" on Snape.]

[same chapter, the very end, page 357, American paperback]

"So that's why Snape doesn't like you," said Harry slowly, "because 
he thought you were in on the joke?"

"That's right," sneered a cold voice from the wall behind Lupin.

Severus Snape was pulling off the invisibility cloak, his wand 
pointed directly at Lupin.


Snape was then knocked out BEFORE Sirius and Lupin explained how 
Pettigrew must have faked his own death and forced him to transform 
back into a human.

Hope that helps!

~Luckie, who finds it hard to believe the Shrieking Shack is the 
most haunted place in Britain, given all the Hogwarts ghosts.
