No previous quote, I'm just catching the ship concerning 
Responsability for Sirius's Death.
It was probably debated before, but IMO, if only dumbledore had told 
Harry all the truth about the Prophecy, things would propably have 
been very different. Ignorance takes a huge part in what happened to 
Sirius, as it takes a huge part in Voldemort's return. It's one of 
the lessons Harry has to learn from his fifth adventure, and it 
applies to the whole Wizarding World. Looking back on it, Harry 
could reproach Dumbledore for hiding him the truth, and the 
Wizarding World could reproach the Ministry and the Daily Prophet 
for doing the same. The only difference between Dumbledore and the 
Ministry is their respective motivation. The Ministry didn't want 
the WW to know the truth because it would have been dangerous for 
its own narrow minded conception of power. Dumbledore didn't want 
Harry to know the truth because he loved him and wanted to protect 
him. But at the end, the result is quite the same: ignorance only 
leads to death.

Just some thoughts
Amicalement,

Iris
