While I think that the way Sirius acted in the Sheirking shack was 
irrational, I think going to Azkaban at such a young age stunted him 
as a person. Suddenly he's out and he had to clear his name,
protect 
Harry, and get the bad guy. I think he was doing what he thought best 
by killing Wormtail. Sirius really hadn't had the opportunity to
grow 
up, so on some levels he's still the 20-23 year old that went to 
Azkaban. He hasn't been around people in 13yrs so his social
skills 
are gone. 

What do they do there all day in Azkaban? If nothing, then his mind 
is stuck at that maturity level also.

I like to think he spent the summer between POA and GOF at Hogwarts 
getting updated on everything by Dumbledore.



What house was everyone in? I think that MWPP was in a different 
house. Like a represtive from each house. But somehow I think that 
Sirius and James knew each other before school.
