Kneasy:

> The only way Sirius could avoid all this is to hide in a deep dark 
hole and
> not let anyone know where he is and he could do that without 
involving Peter.
> With the Imperius curse the idea of bravely holding out becomes 
impossible.


You don't remember Voldemort putting the curse on Harry at the end 
of GoF and telling him to kneel?  As I recall, Harry did quite a lot 
of "bravely holding out" against that particular curse.  As special 
as he is, I doubt he is the only one in the wizarding world who can 
do this... Sirius is smart, he undoubtedly realized the danger 
inherent in his knowing that Pettigrew was the Secret Keeper.  
Knowing this danger, and being one of the strongest wizards around 
(Animagus, Marauder, etc), he probably did think he could fight off 
Voldemort's Imperius.  Why assume that he'd automatically give in 
and tell Voldy everything?
