Look for it in PoA, not in GoF. He mentions it during the conversation
Harry overhears in the Three Broomsticks. Hagrid is a simple mind, and
yes, he mentioned that Sirius was in rather bad shape when he met him
at the Potter's house. He said he was "white and shaking", and he also
said that he tried to comfort him. And Sirius' laughter when he was
arrested tells its own story, too. And even though you don't like him,
don't forget that he was written as one of the good guys and that it
can't be JKR's intention to make us believe that he is a violent jerk.

Yes, I think you are right. <smiles> I can't understand Snape and I
certainly don't like him, maybe it's just impossible if Sirius is your
favorite character.
