Finwitch:

The answer is simple. He didn't. I doubt Sirius considered that
'Snivellus' would DIE in there. I think he planned for Snape to be
bitten, but not dead!

In the pensieve scene we hear the "discussion" over question ten (five
ways to recognise a werewolf). Sirius is teasing Moony about it, and
Moony jokes with him. Then Pettigrew comes up with his moaning of
difficulty and Sirius loses his temper at that thickness (Which I
believe was total FAKE on Peter's part, bedding his betrayal later...)
Snape *heard* them - or at least the latter part of it. He may well
have heard the "You're hanging out with one".

Then he's reading the exam paper over and over, trying, perhaps, to
figure out what 'one' Peter was hanging out with? I think Snape
discovered Lupin's secret that day, there and then! The conflict with
James&saved by Lily, as well as calling her a mudblood is obvious -
too obvious.
