I agree that it will probably deal with clearing Sirius' name. (Of 
course, certainty will come earliest in June...) At least, as Harry's 
dealt with Voldemort's spirit, pre-Voldemort's memory-in-book; 
Voldemort's spies Pettigrew(who escaped) and Crouch Jr (who got 
Dementor's Kiss); he has met Voldemort-in-flesh;

Also, Order of Phoenix-- well, as Phoenix is reborn from ashes... 
Sirius being freed and Pettigrew (thought dead but lives) found alive 
would sort of fit. Maybe the appeal-court is called Order of Phoenix? 
Maybe it also refers with the 'old crowd', an organisation that's 
somesort of knightly order...

What comes to Molly, Ron's "It's all right, Mom!" probably means that 
Ron has explained it all to her (while Harry was too much in shock to 
notice much anything), including how Sirius *saved his life* from 
transformed Lupin... She won't go against Sirius, but Percy would if 
he heard...

While I haven't read any fanfic where Sirius goes to Azkaban - I 
myself have had this scene popped into my head in which Harry does 
try to. It may or may not take place - more or less. Going like 
this...

Using the knife/Alohomora and Invisibility Cloak he gets into Sirius' 
cell unnoticed. However, Sirius refuses to leave because he gave his 
word not to. A wizard-guard pops in to see what's going on. Sirius 
blatantly tells him that his godson came for a visit, Harry takes off 
his cloak. Sirius and Harry then have a long discussion about honour 
and what Sirius&James did at school and some more godfathering on 
Sirius' part...

Then Harry just gets told to be brave and wait until Sirius is 
officially cleared. This sort of endurance is bravery in which 
Neville excels, but I haven't seen Harry do yet.
