1) A question posed by my mother. Is Sirius' mother still believing 
he is a traitor flinty or not? Sirius' brother was considered a 
golden boy and he served Voldemort. Mrs. Black died believe Sirius 
had gone to prison for being Voldemort's right-hand man. Is it 
flinty that Mrs. Black still called him traitor, or did she just 
know her no-good son could never be Voldemort's second-in-command?<


Hi!

I don't believe it's a flint at all.  Even if she believed Sirius 
went to Azkaban a loyal Voldemort supporter, there's no way her 
portrait would believe that now.  He showed up at Grimmauld Place 
with Dumbledore the lover of all beings, Lupin the werewolf, Tonks 
whose mother betrayed the Black family by marrying a muggle born, 
Hermione the muggleborn, and the muggle-loving Weasleys, not to 
mention hosting Harry Potter who brought down Voldemort all those 
years ago.  The portrait of Mrs. Black would have to be completely 
blind not to notice this out of place group in her home, hosted by 
her own son.  So Sirius was obviously the traitor he always was.  It 
makes sense to me, at any rate.
