Lisa:

The attempted murder most certainly is in canon:  Sirius knowingly 
and purposely lured Snape to a spot where he would certainly be 
killed (or at the very least, maimed and turned into a werewolf) by a 
werewolf.  James obviously saw the extreme danger in it as well, and 
saved Snape from such a fate, and saved Sirius from ... what?  
Expulsion, if not actual prosecution, depending upon wizarding laws 
regarding attempted murder.  And I hardly think any court, wizarding 
or otherwise, would say it wasn't attempted murder simply because a 
16 year old girl didn't seem to think it was anything but a prank.
