Dumbledore could have just as easily been referring to saving 
Pettigrew from being killed be Remus and Sirius. I happen to 
personally believe that Sirius was the innocent man based on 
Dumbledore's apparent trust in him at the end of GOF; however, I 
think JKR is setting us up to doubt Sirius in the future.
