I found this very nice website by idly Googling for 'Padfoot'
one day:
http://www.geocities.com/ravenwinggryphon/Paw/

This site discusses the legend of the Padfoot, including its many
other names -- including 'Grim'!  The well-presented information
therein made me realise all the more the depth JKR has in the
background information in these books.  She undoubtedly drew on
these various legends to create Sirius's Animagus form.
