I don't have a dog in this fight but technically, just technically, I'd like to point something out as regards how much culpability Sirius had, and whether what he did could be legally construed as attempted murder.

Sirius didn't actually force Snape to go looking for Lupin's secret. He gave Snape the key to finding out and Snape took the bait. If I was defending Sirius in a trial, I'd go with the defense that Snape acted of his own volition, and that he had no business trying to spy on the Marauders, Lupin especially. Is that fair? Probably not. But legally? I think it's iffier.

Nah, under English law if you incite someone to enter a dangerous situation it is treated as a murder attempt. You think in hundreds of years of precedential case law that that defence hasn't been hashed out already? That is the sort of defence your barrister sighs at, and tells you the judge will just add another five years onto your sentence for cheek.
