I agree with all of your points except that one.  Not the Sirius 
shouldn't have used that name one, but the Sirius is an adult.  I'm 
not surprised you snorted.  I really don't count Sirius as an adult 
myself.  He was put in Azkaban when he was 20 or 21, and I don't 
think he really grew or developed at all mentally while he was there. 
I think people are way too hard on Sirius when they say he should 
have acted as an adult.  Why should he have?  He never got a chance 
to live as one.
