The framing of Sirius right off the bat seems to me that Fudge is 
trying to cover up Pettigrew's involvement with LV, and the Potter's 
death. It's also a little stringe that Fudge is the one at the Leaky 
Cauldron when Harry arrives.  I know he is there on the premise of 
Harry's safety, but if Sirius had gotten to Harry and told his side 
of the story.....
Fudge is still releuctant at the end of OOTP to admit LV is back. He 
shows no remorse in being wrong about LV's return. When I started the 
Fudge as DE theory, I said Fudge is a DE or a strong LV supporter.  
Being a supporter is as bad as being an actual DE IMHO.
