         I think he was relying upon the fact that, with enough force, 
anyone can go down.  A wizard is a human being with magical abilities.  A 
broken neck is still a broken neck.  Given that Sirius was emaciated and 
had spent twelve years rotting in a cell, and Harry is an athlete in, 
presumably, fairly good shape, I think he'd have had a fighting 
chance.  (Well, assuming Sirius didn't Disapparate or turn into a 
dog.  But, hey, I can ignore plotholes - or gaps in Harry's knowledge, 
either one works.  Right?  Right?)
