I think Harry telling him and Remus to spare Wormtail was a bit of a wake up 
call to everyone's favorite ex-convict. Perhaps it brought on a bit of a 
revelation to Sirius that Harry wasn't the fifteen-month-old toddler that he 
had last seen, but he was growing up to be a rational adult capable of 
decision-making. If Harry reminded him of James, perhaps this may be even 
more the reason for his sudden change of disposition. "You truly are your 
father's son," he said as he made his escape, to paraphrase.

Since I'm posting about Sirius, I will bring up two things that my brother 
and I came up with during my lurking period.

1-Sirius is not the first person to escape Azkaban. Barty Crouch, Jr. was. 
Yeah, the brain developes slower in Iowa. It must be all the corn ^_^

2-(Question)Even if Sirius had his name cleared, would they still be able to 
nail him with escaping and make him serve time for that?

Another note, I'm off moderated status. Woohoo, go me!
