Snapedom

Hello!
Dear readers, there is very intensive discussion at one of Russian forums about situation in the Shrieking Shack and I would like to know what you people think about that matter too.
I was afraid to ask it here but sylvanawood encouraged me.
The matter of discussion is - whether or not the guilt for situation at Srieking Shack was equally shared by Sirius and Severus. I mean – when Sirius baited Snape to go there after Remus in their fifth year.
Some of our readers say that it was mostly Sirius’ guilt – as said in canon, Sirius thought it would be amusing, to tell Snape all he had to do was prod the knot on the tree trunk with a long stick, and he'd be able to get in after Remus. And later Sirius doesn’t show any sight of remorse and that entire situation regarded as cruel joke (“Serves him right” – he says to Harry in PoA).
Others think that it was a murder attempt – sudden and unplanned, but Sirius’ intention for Snape to get harm was very clear.
Many think that it was entirely Snape’ fault and that he shouldn’t take obvious bait.
So, what do you think? Was there equal guilt? Was it unplanned murder attempt? Should Sirius apologize? Can we say that foolish curiosity of youth and blatant disregard of somebody’s life or health are traits of the same range?
I must confess, I don’t think that such cruel joke can be regarded just as joke. I think this is much more dangerous thing.
And other questions, related with that situation – why Dumbledore forbade Severus to talk about it? What he was afraid of? Was he concerned about Gryffindor werewolf or was he not concerned enough about lone Slytherin? What if situation was reversed and it was Snape making bait and somebody from Slytherin saved one of Marauders – can we say that situation would be different? And if Severus had normal parents, concerned about his well-being, could that situation end differently? Would he forbidden to speak about it in that case?
If your child/relative was victim of such joke and prohibition, what would you do?

Summary: Several months after the battle of Hogwarts, Severus wakes up. Unfortunately, he's not quite himself…
Prompt: S. reincarnated as Teddy's teddy-bear. How becomes human again (& L's lover) is up to you. Humor & happy ending, pls.

This is an absolutely hilarious, and yet very sweet and touching fic where McGonagall transfigures Snape into a teddy bear--a pink teddy bear--to keep him safe until his name can be cleared, and gives him to Teddy Lupin as a present. (Lupin survived the war in this story, obviously, although Tonks did not.) However, McGonagall succumbs to a curse before she can change him back, and ends up unconscious at St. Mungo's for the forseeable future. So Snape is stuck in his teddy bear form as Teddy's favorite toy, unable to communicate with anyone. His running sarcastic commentary on the events around him is hilarious, but almost against his will, he gradually comes to care for both Lupin and Teddy. It's a wonderful story, both humorous and moving, and an incredibly satisfying read.

As a bonus, it has artwork and free icons of pink teddy bear Snape by Dizilla (Diana Moon)--see my icon on this post for an example! ^_^ The author asks that people credit the creator if they use the icons, and no hotlinking, please.
