Well, actually, Michelle, I am as LOONy as they get and I quite agree 
with you.  I also get the impression that Dumbledore, and to a lesser 
extent McGonagall, are aware of everything that goes on -- and 
certainly they are much more aware to events than WE are, at this 
point.  It would make sense that Dumbledore has explained the events 
that occurred at the end of PoA to McGonagall.  It would also make 
sense that when Dumbledore goes to talk to Sirius (in PoA) he had 
already had his suspicions that maybe Sirius wasnt guilty and that 
something else was going on.  Besides which, when you are 150 years 
old, there is probably not much that can surprise you any more.
