Well, that's not entirely true.  There's no indication from canon
that Snape knew he was putting himself in harm's way.  And without
that little bit of knowledge, then I think Sirius' telling him how to
access the tree is pretty bad.

One thing I wonder: what if Snape thought that Sirius told him about
accessing the tree because he thought Sirius wanted to be friends?  

Might explain why Snape went seriously mental on Harry when Harry
poked his head into the pensieve ("Why am I so stupid as to trust
Marauders AGAIN????").  

Dumbledore's comment to Harry about Snape-James being like
Harry-Draco would also take on new meaning as I really believe that
as much as he goes after Harry so much Draco very much wants to be
Harry's friend (as much as Draco understands the word).
