But would it? I think lots of readers are not convinced
he is on the right side at all. And the younger readers hate
his guts, I would guess.

Would that  count as betrayal? Dumbledore does not trust him
anymore than he trusts Voldemort.

But signs are everywhere! In the first chapter Dumbledore practically
predicts his own death as a result of trusting Hagrid! ;-)
You don't have to be  disloyal to hurt someone. Think Jar-Jar Binks
and how easy it was to set him up.

Sirius has this unfortunate tendency to speak or even act before he
thinks. I would say "think Jar-Jar" again, but something tells me
that you are a Sirius lover, so I won't. :-)
