Maybe the scene with Sirius in the dorm was planned, but they never filmed it
because they made the decision to cut that whole thread before filming it? 
Sorry if somebody has already proposed that, I'm really behind due to the whole
job thing.  I got the impression that they filmed all of Oldman's scenes fairly
late in the production schedule, which would mean that the attack on Ron would
have been filmed after this scene.  Often production schedules are dictated by
the actors' availability, and since Sirius's scenes are pretty sporadic, it
would make sense to film them all at once.

You have great restraint.

Yes, definitely!  All of the kids are so much more natural in this film, but
Harry's sarcasm is priceless.
