Aha!  I can't believe I have something to say about this, as this is 
one of the threads I often skip (sorry, Amanda).  However, I imagine 
that Sirius showed Dumbledore his doggy ways.  I'm sure that was quite 
convincing.  Sirius also seems so, so darned genuine and passionate 
about his convictions.  How could Dumbledore not believe him?  Okay, 
seriously now (heh heh heh), there were probably details in Sirius' 
story that are hard to describe if he wasn't there.  Most of the time, 
Dumbledore knows who and when to believe.
