Aren't the LeStranges the only DEs not present that Voldemort mentions by
name?  He didn't mention Karkaroff or even Crouch--by name at least.  And
there have *got* to be more in Azkaban than just the LeStranges that were
really death eaters.

Now, on to Sirius Black.  I like him too, can't help it.  Mainly because
Harry likes him and trusts him.  Harry needed someone (adult) to trust that
he wouldn't feel stupid going to with something like a scar hurting.  He
trusts Dumbledore, but he holds him in a higher esteem.  Sirius he can
connect to his father, turn him into a father figure of sorts.

Now, as far whether Sirius is an actual nice guy or not, well he certainly
has a temper.  That much is clear.  But I think he may know something else
about Snape's past.  His preHogwarts past.  OR Snape knows something about
Sirius' preHogwarts past that he didn't want let out, thus in his young mind
the only option was to kill him.  But what, I have no idea.
