Hm, if in your theory he is no longer angry at that point,
I'd hate to see him angry. :-)
Nope, even sticking to the mean shnook interpretation - there are
more brownie points to be earned from bringing Black alive.
Now stretcher is an interesting detail - if the ever so noble Sirius
and Remus bothered with it in low tunnel instead of repeatedly
hitting unconscious man, they would be able to move faster and maybe
could make it to Hogwarts on time. Not that it would do Sirius much
good - if Fudge was not interested enough to listen to Crouch's story,
do you think he would bother with Sirius?
(Anyone bold enough to construct "Snape actually saved Sirius's life
that night" theory? ;)
