him  right" in the  Shack is because he just left Azkaban and his 
worst  feelings were replayed over and over again in his head for 
twelve  years.

Pippin:
Or it could mean that he hadn't had a chance to reconsider his 
feelings about Snape, because the dementors were   leaving 
him with the memories of much worse things, like Voldemort's 
reign of terror. 

Alla:
> Regardless, Sirius' not blaming Snape anymore does not 
sound to me  as mutually exclusive to the (mainly speculative, 
but also based on  some inferences, which I also stated before) 
possibility that Snape  also did his fair share of nasty things to 
Marauders.<

Pippin:

So, if Sirius sank to Snape's level, that makes it better 
somehow? I don't think so. Maybe Sirius never used Dark Arts 
(though using a werewolf as the tool of revenge is certainly dark 
enough for me) but that just makes him like Crouch Sr, justifying 
his ruthless measures by the ruthlessness of others. Not a 
pretty picture.
