I want to qualify my assertion that Sirius is an introvert. In fact,
introvert may be the wrong term in this case. I didn't mean to suggest he
is, for example, painfully shy, like 'a rabbit trapped in headlights.' I'm
thinking more of someone who keeps his own counsel and is somewhat
aloof in social settings. I don't think this is at odds with his being a
jokester or a woman-magnet. I see a clever, wry, humourist rather than a
slapstick funmaker (like one of the twins). Am I making any sense at all?

***********************

I definitely agree with this assessment. I always hesitated to use the
word jokester with Sirius because I didn't really think he was a lot
like the Weasley twins in terms of jokes. IMO his was a different sort
of humor...clever wry humorist definitely fits...thanks for expressing
that...and the introversion of "keeping his own counsel" I would also
agree with...in that it seems he tends to have a few intense friendships,
rather than many casual aquaintances.

who is way too analytical about Sirius.
