I've always believed that Sirius told Snape that they were going to 
finally settle things once and for all. Sirius and Snape would meet 
for a no holds barred duel, something strongly frowned upon at the 
school and worthy of expulsion.

By Snape going to the Shack for the duel, he placed some wrong doing 
in his own corner. Dumbledore couldn't expel the Marauders unless he 
also expelled Snape for his own actions. That would also explain 
Dumbledore's statement that his memory was as good as it ever was.
