Given James Potter's influence and the severity of the crime, the trial would likely be fair but strict. If found guilty, they could be stripped of their magic, which is a huge punishment in the wizarding world. Secondly, they would have to live with the guilt and the knowledge that they have wronged Harry. This could haunt them for the rest of their lives.

In terms of his relationships at school, it could either improve his standing if the other students follow James' lead in protecting him, or it could make things more complicated if there are those who oppose James' new - found support for Severus.
