Then again, JKR is notoriously bad at keeping her math straight, so maybe we should feel free to interpret it as we like. ;-)
Absolutely! There're several inconsistencies, and apparently some mistakes on birth dates and so on.
Another thing - even if The Prank happened before Snape's worst memories - that certainly doesn't seem good for the Marauders, especially Sirius and James - but we know very little about what really happened and the circumstances leading up to it. What we do know about the relationship between Snape and the Marauders we see mostly from Snape's POV, and while I do have quite a lot of sympathy for Snape as a character, he is more than able to be quite cruel himself even as an adult. Okay, this is totally besides the point, lol, and maybe it's just me trying to justify the actions of beloved characters ;) I really love the Marauders, and the people they grew up to be ;D
