I don't know why I feel this way, there is certainly no evidence in 
canon to support this, but I got the feeling that at the point where 
Dumbledoor sent McG out to get the large black dog from the pumpkin 
patch, McG already knew who the dog really was. I guess I just can't 
imagine strong, intelligent McG being supriesd about anything. Ad as I 
remember it (and this could be wrong, I have not read the books in 
about 6 months) Dumbledoor took the news that Sirius was innocent very 
well. He did not seem verry suprised to me. 

OK nitpickers, have at it. But be kind as I am not L.O.O.N but more of 
the R.E.S.T variaty.
