I agree about Sirius, for all the reasons you stated. I just do not 
think that Harry has the same closeness with Hermione that he has 
with Ron. (even if he has a romantic interest) 

I think he would be grief stricken if Voldemort killed Hagrid, 
Hermione, or Dumbledore, but more sad than mad. I think if Voldemort 
killed Ron or Sirius, Harry would be furious, as well as grief 
stricken. I think his rage would outweigh his sadness.

Just my humble opinion
