Sorry, Julie, but right now I am going to dispute even  that. :o) 
Sirius and Snape were  not best friends before Prank  ocurred, right? 
Snape is NOT stupid , right?

Why would Snape listen  to ANYTHING Sirius says? Why would he BELIEVE 
anything Sirius  says?

As Finwitch said, why would Snape even stop to have any kind of  
conversation with Sirius?.



RedHen has an excellent essay on his website with a possible theory about a  
lot of Sirius's bad behavior, including the Prank, called "Man's Best  
Friend".    He talks about Sirius's behavior in OOP as being  consistent with long 
standing alcoholism, and how this might have started in the  Black house (look 
at his mother, too). And that the Prank might have started  when Sirius just 
let something slip while he was drunk.  It's a theory,  anyway.
