Hi:

Blaise said: <<<Certainly there is a HUGE
difference in his character from PoA to GoF, but that's another story
(on which I would appreciate thoughts; it's been bothering me).>>>

I'm not sure I know what you're alluding to Blaise -- explain a bit
more. I think Sirius played a greater role in GoF than I was originally
expecting. I figured he & Harry might exchange a letter or two. I was
very pleased to see him taking such a protective stance & active role in
communicating both with Harry & with Dumbledore. He seems very eager to
fulfill his godfather duties, and he was clearly growing very attached
to Harry -- becoming the father-figure that Harry needs.

The only thing that comes to mind that bothered me about him in GoF was
the business about surviving on rats. Blech!!! I hope he was doing that
in his dog form.

So --- tell me what you mean by a "huge" & troubling difference in his
character from PoA to GoF. I'm puzzled. Maybe I've forgotten something.
