<SNIP>
And I don't care what Snape was like as a teen - Sirius knew
perfectly well that if Lupin encountered anyone in werewolf form
he'd kill or maim or infect them.  Maybe Snape was a nosy Parker but
there is absolutely no excuse for deliberately sending someone in 
harms'way when you know what the outcome would likely be.  It was a 
bad thing to do to Snape and an unbelievably terrible betrayal of 
Lupin.

Well, obviously I DO care what Snape was like as a teen - because I 
think that it may explain a lot, but I also disagree 
with "deliberately sending someone in harm's way" wording.

Maybe its semantics, but I think that we have absolutely no proof  
so 
far that Sirius sent Snape there.

Did Sirius deliberately told him? Most likely, but unless Snape was 
under Imperio, he went there under his own free will. Do I applaud 
Sirius for what he did? Of course not, but  there is a huge
difference 
between saying something provocative  and sending someone to meet 
their possible death.

Just my opinion,
