But what about the Weasleys ? I think they've made it pretty clear 
that they would take him for good if only DD allowed it. And still he 
doesn't feel anywhere as strongly towards them.

I know Sirius has a bonus, since he's his dad's best friend, but 
we've never seen Harry so intent on getting to know more about his 
parents anyway. When he discovers that Remus was also a friend of his 
dad's, he doesn't care.

So I'm still feeling uneasy about the whole matter of "Sirius was 
soooo important for Harry". I love Sirius, but I don't buy that 
artificial relationship between him and Harry JKR tries to force us 
to buy throughout GoF and OoP. I remember when I was younger, I need 
*acts* of love, not just words or family ties. I would have been much 
more attracted to the Weasleys than to Sirius.
