Eh, I will be the first one to say that we don't know much about 
Prank yet, but Snape knew that Remus is a werewolf and still went 
there?

I doubt it. Kneasy once wrote a very funny imaginary conversation 
between Snape and Sirius prior to Prank. It is very hard to 
determine WHY Snape actually listened to Sirius, if they were not on 
the best terms, to put it mildly, but I am having a hard time 
believing yours. Sorry.

Whoever Snape is, he is not stupid. I remember someone once claimed 
that Snape is stupid, but never actually presented canon supporting 
such statement, while other people presented plenty of canon to show 
that Snape is actually very smart.

So, I choose to think that Snape was smart enough not to go and meet 
a nice werewolf without Wolfsbane being invented yet. :o)


I DO NOT think that Sirius planned to kill Snape. There are plenty 
of other choices for me to pick from. I do believe though that Snape 
honestly thinks that.

If I take Sirius' words about Snape past on full faith and credit , 
I have to be consistent and give the same courtesy to Snape. :)



Romulus Lupin:

Alla:

Oh, maybe you will be the one who finally gives us some canon about 
Snape being dumb? Please, pretty please? :)
