Play nice.  If you had read and/or understood Steve's post (and his 
previous one), you would know that this is not even *remotely* the gist 
of his argument.

It is a canonical fact that the antagonism between Snape and the 
Marauders (particularly Sirius and James) was *mutual*.  Furthermore, I 
think it's giving Sevvie too little credit to assume that he was some 
completely innocent, passive victim in the Prank events.

That said, Sirius WAS wrong.  He was way more wrong than Snape may or 
may not have been, and, as far as I'm concerned, the vast majority of 
the blame falls on his shoulders.
