Alla:
I think we disagree as to the gradation of what makes Snape being 
pissed at Sirius more so to speak. I said upthread that I do not doubt 
that it is very likely that Sirius supposedly betraying Lily and James 
plays a part into it.

I think it goes back to Zara's original point or the way I understood 
it anyways - that Prank will turn out to be completely red herring and 
if Snape would not be thinking that Sirius betrayed Lily and James, 
Snape would not have wanted Sirius dementorkissed.

I am not dismissing Snape being mad at Sirius for Potters death. I AM 
though disagreeing that Snape IS able to handle the Prank memories. I 
do think that it makes him completely irrational ( and of course he 
has a right to be irrational, since even though I am pretty positive 
that Sirius did not mean to kill Snape, I do think that Snape honestly 
believes that he did mean to do exactly that).

So,where does it lead me? Back to Sherry's point of course. Do I think 
Shack adequately shows the possibility of Snape's resenting to 
Dumbledore for siding with Marauders again? YES, I absolutely think it 
is possible.

Not that I think that Dumbledore EVER sided with Marauders or that he 
was favoring them, or anything like that.

But would Snape think so? I think yes.

JMO,
