As a general rule lots of things are possible at
sixteen. But my take on the whole 'prank' thing is
that if Sirius was doing it to get at Snape it'd be
more like to scare the living heck out and/or possibly
do injury to snape but most certainly not death. One
can assume (if you ever have pulled a prank) said
person wouldn't seriously be hurt by it.
