Dorothy:

Julie,
      Yes, I also think that both Sirius and Snape were 
responsible in varying degrees concerning that "prank", and 
both still held onto their animosity to each other as adults 
as well as their stubborness.  As are most of us, they were 
flawed, yet in the end both were heroes. 
  Think peace,
    Dorothy
