him

Brother Gib: 
> Hmmm! I'm very interested in this. How could Snape have provided
the  information that led to the murder of Sirius Black. As I remember
it,  Kreacher sent Harry to the MOM whilst Sirius was elsewhere in
the 
castle. Snape then provided the information to the Order that led
to  their arrival at MOM to assist Harry (if we believe DD). Even if 
Snape was trying to lure Sirius to MOM, his actions ensured the
rest  of the order and DD turned up and thwarted Voldemort. 

Pippin:
Dumbledore would want to have Snape  pass some genuine information
to Voldemort in order to maintain Snape's credibility. Letting Voldie
know at once that Sirius had returned to England might be part of
that. 

It would make sense of Dumbledore's sudden insistence that Sirius 
remain at GP when he'd been allowed to move freely before that.

In that case  the idea that Sirius was too reckless to be trusted 
was a cover story -- the real reason he had to stay at GP was that
the Death Eaters knew he had come back and would be stalking him.

As long as Sirius stayed at GP, Snape could pretend to Voldemort that
he would gladly kill Sirius if he got the chance, but after all it 
would be kind of a giveaway if he did it at Order HQ.
