I love Sirius. I think he might almost be my favourite character in the whole series. And I hate what happens to him, so that I can hardly forgive Rowling for that. So I love your defence of him.

Incidentally, I can totally see why James, Sirius and Remus would be friends, but I never really got why they were friends with Peter. Admittedly that scene which Harry sees from Snape’s pov is an isolated one, so maybe Pettigrew wasn’t so much of a bootlicker at other times.

In reply to Iris. Your comments are never useless, lovely Iris! I like Sirius and I like Lupin sooooort of, but I don't know enough about James to like him, and I HATE SNAPE. I would wish some ill fate on Snape but there's really no worse fate than the one he actually receives.

I did not know there were people who disliked Sirius. This is actually the first time I thought about it. And I see now.. yes.. that quote about Hogsmeade is kind of mean, and a little childish. Actually, it is very mean as I feel Harry is often in awe of his father and Sirius hurts him with that. But at the same time, it shows an interesting blurring of the lines between young-adulthood and adults, where no one is perfect and those imperfections show in hurtful scenes. Perhaps this is me justifying, but I think it is also very realistic.

Anyway, I like Sirius. I actually like all the Marauders and Snape. And I’ve always wanted MORE about them. (Although I agree about Luipin in book 7 and *ugh*).

Useless comment from me but great post!

In reply to Kayleigh V. Well, thanks! I love it when people find my defenses of Sirius pleasing.
