Alla:
 
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?.
 
Ann: 
Can anyone really say at one time or another you haven't pulled a
prank on someone? That we didn't like someone in school because of
their attitude or the way they dress or other reasons? If you're
agronant as James and Sirus was, and they played Quiddich which is a
sport, who hasn't known a Jock who was agronant and thought they ruled
the school and picked on the geeks. They are wizards they have other
ways to pull pranks and etc..But really has anyone not been picked on
at school and remember it and think badly of the person who did it to
you? I dislike Snape but I will say this if the prank had been pulled
on me I would be upset too and carry a grudge. 

Alla:

Erm, yes, absolutely, but that was not exactly my point. I was just 
arguing that there are holes, many of them in the Prank story and 
hopefully it will be revealed sooner or late.

For that reason ( holes in the story) I am very reluctant to say that 
Sirius planned to kill Snape. I don't see it as supported in the text 
yet, that is all. I am not saying that Sirius did a good deed, not at 
all, but I don't exclude the possibility that Prank was somebode 
else's setup.

Again, sorry for repeating myself , but surely Sirius and Snape did 
not like each other way before Prank happened, right? JKR did say 
that they loathed each other, so why stop and have a chat with each 
other? Why, why, why?

Can someone give me a realistic speculation of mechanics of the 
Prank, because right now it is very hard for me to imagine.

Let's say the person whom I do NOT like at all and who I have a 
fairly good reason to suspect does not like me tells me some kind of 
information, especially, let's say go to some kind of suspicious 
location and there I will find something I was curious about.

I don't think I would believe anything such person says. Would you? 
Moreover I would think that there are reasons for me NOT to go tot 
hat location, because I can be harmed.

I don't know, I just find the accounts of the Prank to be not 
complete.


Just my opinion of course,

Alla.
