It struck me, as I was reading, that even more than Snape, Sirius was seeing 
Harry as James - trying to make Harry fit into James's shoes.  Several times 
it's occurred to me - did Sirius really care about Harry, a kid he hardly knew? 
 Or did he project HIS memory of James - and care about Harry as the 
"reincarnation" of his friend?

(sorry, nope, full disclosure compels me to admit that I've never liked 
Sirius...)
