The truth is I'd love him too. My heart leaped when Sirius asked him
if he would. And I was close to tears when I realised it wasn't a
possibility. About Harry's eagerness to go live with Sirius, this is
my say. Harry suffered eleven years of emotional abuse from people
who were his family. He was lied to and treated like dirt. Then he
finds out all this stuff about this magical world and he's part of
it. It's every child's dream. He gets to escape from this horrible
existence and become a hero. And then this person who (yes I know he
did think Sirius was a murderer until earlier in the chapter) knew
his parents and is his godfather asks him to come live with him. Of
course he's going to leap to say yes, any child who had been though
what harry has would. It's a permanant escape from the Durseley's and
the light at the end of the tunnel for Harry.
Now back to my original point. As much as I'd like Harry to go live
with Sirius, I don't think it will happen. it's too tidy and
too 'happily ever after' for this series. To be truthful I don't even
think Sirius will be cleared, Fudge is far too narrow minded. It's a
dream for Harry. If you let it happen then what will he have to keep
him going? If Harry ever is truly happy (during these seven books) if
everything in his little world is perfect then he'll lose the will to
keep fighting. And then he won't be Harry anymore.
I'd love some replies to this,
