Me (K) (btw I'm back, yay, but I had to install a new copy of windows so
anyone waiting on e-mail from me had better mail me again since I lost all
my e-mail *and* my address book, also note the new address)

How do you come to that conclusion? If the only one responsible for Lucius'
prison sentence is Lucius (which I agree with btw) then the only person
responsible for Sirius' death is Bellatrix Lestrange.

Yes Sirius was there to rescue Harry and yes Harry probably wouldn't have
been there if it wasn't for Dumbledore but neither of them killed Sirius.
Sirius *chose* to go there knowing the dangers (as did every other member of
the rescue party) and Bellatrix *chose* to kill him - although I guess
there's room for arguing that it was an accident since afawk she didn't use
AK on him.
