More questions about Sirius

1 - If Sirius is cleared, what could happen to Buckbeak?  Wouldn't 
Buckbeak be still under sentence of death?  Perhaps they would be
too busy about Voldemort to worry about a hippogriff.

2 - Why was Fudge so eager to put the Kiss to Sirius Black?  You'd
think he'd be all agog to hear how Sirius escaped from Azkaban.  
Was he anxious for a quick conclusion to this "highly embarrassing 
Black affair" or could he have had ulterior motives?

3 - Somebody asked that if Sirius were imprisoned once more,
wouldn't he be able to escape on his own, like he did before?  I 
would say no.  They would certainly press him, under veritaserum, 
to find out how he escaped the first time, and make sure he doesn't 
try it again.  I dread to think what punishments might be in store 
for him if he ever returned to Azkaban.  Anyway, they would 
certainly take extra measures with him once he was returned to 
Azkaban.

4 - Hmmm . any thoughts on what changes might have taken place in 
Azkaban security in the wake of Sirius's escape?
  
5 - Lupin said that he had refrained from telling Dumbledore
that Sirius was an animagus because he was "too cowardly".  But 
could there have been another reason?  Did Lupin subconsciously 
doubt that Sirius was a murderer?  Or perhaps thinking that Sirius 
might have been acting under the Imperius Curse, and not been a 
true murder at all?
