That pesky letter again! Was:Re: Of human errors

If Sirius was going to set up residence at 12 GP, why would he NOT  
want to have a bunch of his stuff -- clothes, books, and yes, 
letters  -- from the place he got with his inheritance from Uncle 
Alphard? Granted,  he may not have wanted to pick them up himself, in 
case the Ministry was  monitoring the place, but Lupin would have 
gone -- and known what to take,  as well.

Of course, the other part of the letter question, being when  and how 
Snape got to it, involves the whole (shaky?) plot question of who  can 
get into 12GP and how. I suspect it all could have been greatly  
simplified, but that's one of the things I need to finish my reread 
to  decide.

This brings up a pet peeve of mine, not just from HP  but from other books 
and movies also. When Sirius is sent to Azakaban, why  doesn't ANYONE (Lupin, 
Dumbledore, anyone in the Order) contact him to get his  side of the story?
 
Let's see, I know, the all-knowing, all-wise, never  erring, MOM got it right 
when they sent him there without a trial.  

Sarcasm aside, this is a plot device that I do not  understand. Any insight 
would be appreciated.
Thanks.
