Finwitch:

You know, that's the big question, even if Snape did NOT know. Honest,
they clearly saw each other as enemies (and for the most part, still
do) - I can't so much as see a situation... what - Snape taking orders
from Sirius, particularly when they're not on the same side? WHAT??? I
just can't believe it.

Sirius *may* have let slip (respoding to a taunt) how to get past the
Whomping Willow - but.. what got Snape to *Act* on it? The whole thing
is ridiculous! i can't see much reason for Snape to go there at all.

I wonder... was Snape up to getting rid of Lupin, James Potter and
Sirius Black back then, by *deliberately* going down there and accuse
James Potter & Sirius Black for setting it up, in order to avenge that
humiliation we saw, even if it would cost him his life? (Remember,
what the hat told as of Slytherin: ANY means to get what you want -
including suicide.)

Of course, James spoiled it by saving his life - and getting *credit*
for it (and Lily as well, I suppose) instead of the big trouble Snape
intended him & the others to get.

And why do I think Sirius didn't do a thing? This is the one who
defied his entire family because of a set of beliefs, defied his
family of Dark Arts. You know what - Snape may well have been up to
framing Sirius, or he may have wrongly believed it was a prank set up
by Sirius&James (you know how he keeps accusing Harry - even about
things that Harry is farthest thing from). You know, I don't think
Sirius would have been able to handle it 12 years in Axkaban if a
prank that *might* have led to someone dying had ever been done by
him. He never did it - it's just Snape barking the wrong tree again.
