OK, so let's kill off everyone who was irritating in this book. 
Let's start with Molly Weasley. Oh my gosh was she irritating! 
Constantly fussing over Harry. We've laid the blame for Harry's 
frustration at Dumbledore's feet, as has Dumbledore himself, but if 
Molly hadn't been so overprotective at the OoP headquarters, Sirius 
would have told Harry everything he needed to know in the 
beginning...then the tragedy of Sirius would have been averted and 
then we wouldn't have had....
Irritating Harry....he is without a doubt the most irritating 
character in the whole book. He is rude to his friends, and most 
everybody else. He is sulky. He is arrogant. He is self centered.
Of course, now that we've killed of Harry, maybe we won't have to 
kill Percy and Snape. Maybe with Harry gone they would have been so 
cheerful they wouldn't have been irritating...

Sirius is one of the good guys. We find a great deal of sympathy for 
Snape for childhood taunts. We find sympahty for Draco for imagined 
childhood abuse. Supposedly they were deeply affected and this 
explains and excuses the people they are today.

But no sympathy for Sirius who spent almost half his life in 
Azkaban, years spent with creatures who sucked all happiness, hope 
away from him...no sympathy at all. I guess he should have just 
snapped right back.
