Alla:

I agree that DE were likely after James and Sirius, although when DE
will pass up a possibility to hurt a muggle? But that was not my main
point, I was not saying that James and Sirius' main purpose was to
protect muggle police, although again that we can speculate and
speculate, but I was thinking that they were doing their mission and
since muggle police showed up, they will not  let them be killed by 
DE,
no?

Sort of secondary unexpected task, if that makes sense.

If I am right and James and Sirius are doing that, well, I really 
could care less if they are doing this the way they did, I figure 
muggle police can handle being talked down by loud mouthed teens who 
are actually taking terrorists off the streets.

Alla:

If there was a possibility that DE would have hurt them, just for fun
of it, you think muggle police would rather die than let those cocky
teens protect them? Eh, if so, I think they are stupid indeed.
