Erm... No, we don't know that. We don't know  that Snape did not know 
that Lupin a werewolf, we don't know WHAT Sirius told Snape, we 
especially don't know that Snape would not have gone if he knew that 
Remus was a werewolf.
 
In fact, as I said in my previous post it is possible that Snape 
figured out exactly that - who Lupin was and went there regardless.
 
I have to hunt my post with the questions and there are SO many of 
them which we don't know about Prank.

I would like some canon please about the assumption that Sirius 
neglected to tell Snape about the fact that Lupin was a werewolf. In 
fact, I would like canon on what EXACTLY Sirius told Snape. :-)
 
Oh, and not Remus words, please, because to me it is quite clear that 
if Snape figured out who Remus was before going to Shack, he would 
not tell Remus those interesting news. :-)

Yes, a lot of us are wondering about those quesions often. I submit 
that canon does NOT provide the answers and JKT herself promised more 
about backstory of the prank.
 
I always thought that poor, dear victim Snape is really not. After 
HBP when we were treated to Snape going around creating dark curses, 
I am almost positive that Snape did many bad things to Marauders. 
They may have been bullies, but Snape as completely innocent party? 
Nope, not buying it, not buying it at all.
 
I am prepared to eat a nice crow though after book 7. :-)
 

 
JMO,
