Renee:

Nothing in Lupin's account in the Shrieking Shack indicates any
estrangement between him and Sirius during their school days. Which
seems perfectly in character: even if Lupin would have been angry at
Sirius, he'd have played it down, because he likes too much to be
liked. And nothing in Sirius's reaction indicates that it ever was a
touchy subject among the Marauders; it's obvious he isn't sorry at all
about the Prank and I doubt he even realises it could have had dire
consequences for Lupin. I see no reason why Lupin wouldn't be fully
informed, but when the story came up in that particular chapter of
PoA, it wasn't the time or the place to go into details - not to
mention that it would probably have given away something JKR didn't
want to reveal until the 7th book.   

As for Snape seeing that no rules were broken: why would this have
stopped him if he thought he was on to something and wanted to satisfy
his curiosity, or if he was goaded into following Lupin?

Renee:
Though I'd like to read such a scene, but I'm not sure it's important
enough for JKR to spend much page time on.
