Alla:

I guess what confuses me is how we can set aside whether I knew about 
the landmines for the purposes of determining whether you intended to 
kill me or not.

Because as far as I believe not only Snape knew about Remus' 
condition, but I also think that Sirius had all reasons to believe 
that Snape knew.

So you (Sirius) tell me (Snape) the information of how to go to the 
place with landmines, about which not only I know, but you believe I 
know too.

I believe that in that instanse you are not hiding, well, pretty much 
nothing except that you are animagi that is and the blame for 
deciding to go lies sorely with me.

Oh, you should have been silent out of concern for your friend if 
nothing else in my opinion and of course I can die if mine explodes, 
but that does not translate in my mind in you trying to kill me. I am 
sure you wanted to get me in trouble, but IMO I went out and brought 
that trouble all upon myself.

JMO,
