But, if Sirius had shaved off his beard after leaving Azkaban, then 
the picture Uncle Vernon had seen on the news would have shown Sirius 
with a beard, right? I am, of course, assuming that the picture was 
taken while Sirius had been in Azkaban, since one taken before his 
imprisonment would have not included his hair being in any kind of 
"state" on which Vernon would comment. However, Vernon is a weird 
guy, so maybe longer sideburns or unkempt hair like Harry's would be 
considered inappropriate in his mind.

On the other hand, I also highly doubt that the picture was taken 
*after* his escape! So we all agree that it was taken in Azkaban? 
Good. ;)
