My reply:  This is very interesting to me do you really think it was irresponsible for Sirius to go to the ministry that night.  Here is a man who has just found out his "son" went to the ministry thinking that Sirius was there and caught by Voldemort.  Sirius went to protect Harry, had Harry not been there I am sure Sirius would not have gone. Sirius tried everything he could to protect Harry.

sulk. What's more,  Sirius was an adult wizard, not a house elf incapable of disobeying his master's orders. DD could advise, direct, decree - whatever- but the fact remains that Sirius had freedom of choice and he chose to comply (however grudgingly) with DD's wishes .  I'd go so far as to say Sirius LIKED grumbling about his confinement.  It gave him the opportunity to paint himself as a victim and also as an "if only" hero..... "If only other people weren't stopping me, I'd whip that LV in a second."   Yeah, right.  Sounds  like a WW version of another wannabe hero growling, "Bring 'em on!"  from the safety of the homefront and massive security forces protecting his spoiled hindquarters. 
 
My reply:  Wow, you really hate Sirius don't you.  The real reason that Sirius did not leave is because in his heart he knew that it was dangerous.  He did not want to leave Harry without someone to confide in.  I truly believe that Sirius was a prominent member of the order before, there is nothing anywhere to suggest that he was lazy.  Perhaps, arrogant but nothing anywhere that suggested that prior to Azkaban Sirius was not a primary member of the Order of the Pheonix.  I think the most annoying part this whole situation is that I really truly believe that he wanted nothing more than to protect Harry, yet, he could not.  
 
That's just my take on Sirius, take it or leave it.
