Maybe someone can help me out here. I was under the impression that
the majority of the wizarding (and muggle) world still think that
Sirius is a dangerous criminal. Obviously the Order is aware of his
innocence, as well as HRH & the other Weasley siblings, but this is
not known by the other Hogwarts students, is it?
I was pleasantly surprised by Neville's reaction to Sirius's death.
(p. 808 US version):
"Harry...I'b really sorry..." said Neville <skip> "Was dat man--
Sirius Black a-- a friend of yours?"
He doesn't react with fear or shock to see the "murderer" as one might
expect, but he's ready to accept him if Harry does. I guess it's a
case of "any friend of yours, is a friend of mine". Neville is really
showing his inconditional respect & admiration for Harry.
