Me:
Everything said up to now sounds sensible to me. But there is one more thing
about Sirius nobody notices:
When being back in the headmaster's office after the fight DD tells Harry
that the person Sirius cared most about was Harry. The canon tells us that
Sirius was the kind of person that would have died to rescue the ones he
likes/loves so much.
The prophecy says Harry would be dieing. Respectless if he really will be
dieing defeating LV, Sirius would never erver would allow such a situation
happening where Harry gets into highest danger, so he would never be able do
do what he is forseen to do. And if Harry died doesn't anybody think Sirius
would go insane for he still could not forgive himself that James and Lilly
died and now even Harry would have been dead.... That would be far too much
for him.
