Other anagrams - Sirius Black

People have tried the anagram game on lots of character names, not 
just Snape.  On other lists, I've seen it pointed out that Sirius 
Black includes basilisk.

I've now checked for anagrams in the name Sirius Black myself.  It 
does indeed contain the word basilisk.  This leaves 3 letters left 
over: r, u and c.  These can be rearranged to spell the word cur.  
This could apply to Sirius, as his animagus form is Padfoot.  Cur is 
a synonym for dog but it means specifically an ill-tempered or 
worthless dog.  Taking this together with Voldemort's connection to 
the basilisk, I've had a shocking thought.  

Maybe Sirius is a baddie.

Even though I believe in LOLLIPOPS, I've never disliked Sirius.  I've 
always accepted him at face value.  He's an innocent man imprisoned 
for a crime that he did not commit.  Thus I felt sympathy towards his 
suffering.  I was also convinced by the argument that Sirius played 
the Whomping Willow trick on Snape without realising what the 
consequences might be.

So far in the books Sirius has done nothing but be protective and 
caring towards Harry, so this sudden suspicion is probably reading 
too much into things.

On the other hand, if Sirius betrayed Harry, it would be a shocking 
twist.

In conclusion, Sirius is probably one of the good guys until proven 
otherwise.  But you never know with JKR
