Very interesting site.  One thing I found particularly interesting is
that the Padfoot was originally viewed as an evil spirit, but is now
considered to be protective and benevolent.  Just like Sirius, who was
originally believed to be a vicious murderer but is now known (by the
central characters and the readers, anyway) to be a good guy.
