Prank chapter, we SO need and demand Prank chapter :). BY the way, 
even when I am typing this, I have to remind myself that it is done, 
done, done, fates of the characters are sealed and nothing is going to 
change that, hehehe. Book 7 is done and I WANT it now.

Right, now back to Prank. I had never been especially surprised why 
Sirius avoided expulsion just as I was always sure that he was 
punished appropriately. Hogwarts after all has plenty of nasty 
punishments and the act that Snape thinks expulsion is the only one 
that should have been given, does not make that true IMO.

That in fact and the fact that Snape agreed to keep Lupin secret 
always indicated to me that Snape IS complicit in prank night on more 
serious level.

I just do not see Dumbledore threatening Snape unless Snape has 
something to fret about.

Speculating as always about prank.
