Finwitch:

Well, for some reason I believe that - Snape being on the same year as
Sirius, therefore older than Regulus - somehow became Regulus' guide
among the school... AND possibly Snape was the one who introduced
Regulus to the DE-party. At the very least, Sirius blamed Snape for
it. What else could have caused him to say: 'he deserved it' - about
the old werewolf-business? I mean, there must have been some *Reason*
for Sirius Black to hate Snape so much. It goes beyond school-boy
rivalry -- this is personal. Regulus, maybe. I certainly hope the 7th
book will shed some light into this.
