Does anyone else wonder why that is?  Harry isn't as angry at LV as he was at 
Sirius.  Why?  I have a theory.  (The following will go on Harry's knowledge 
during most of PoA.)  Harry is just as angry at LV as he is at Sirius, but 
Sirius did one thing LV did not.  Betrayal.  Sirius betrayed Harry's parents. 
 Loyalty is a big thing in the Potterverse.  Examples: Dumbledore says that 
he will never be truly gone as long as there are people loyal to him; Lupin 
doesn't tell Dumbledore that Sirius is an Animagus; Lupin doesn't attack 
Sirius; Lupin and Sirius say they would've died for their friends.
Okay, some of my examples might be a little weak, but I don't have the books 
with me.  That's my theory of why Harry seems more angry at Sirius than LV.  
Sirius was supposed to be loyal to his parents, and he wasn't.
