"If one of my very best freinds supposedly betrayed one of my other 
very best friends and the other best friend ended up dying... I 
think I would find that former best friend and confront them. I 
would beg and cry and yell and plead to find out what had happened.
Now, it says in the books that Fudge visited Sirius in Azkaban and 
Crouch and his wife visited their son and did the big switcheroo. 
WHY DIDN'T LUPIN GO ASK SIRIUS WHAT HAPPENED?"

DuffyPoo:
I have this same problem with why Dumbledore didn't see Sirius and find out what happened.  Since EVERYBODY knows Dumbledore (according to Mrs. Figg) and he's supposed to be the second most powerful wizard in the world, and he was begged to take the MoM job, knowing what he knew about the situation I just can't see that he couldn't have gotten a visit with Sirius in Azkaban and got the truth of the story from him.  Even if Lupin couldn't have gotten in, being just a common wizard, there's no reason DD couldn't have coerced is way in there.

"And! Crookshanks is part Kneazle and part what? Why is the cat so 
protective and friendly to Sirius? I'm thinking Crookshanks is 
someone that Sirius knows well. Anyone?"

DuffyPoo:
Crookshanks is half Kneezle and half cat.  He is protective and friendly to Sirius, IMO, because they got to know and trust each other over the school year.  Crookshanks knew Scabbers was no rat the second he saw him in the Magical Menagerie (the Kneazle part of Crookshanks) and tried to get rid of him.  Then he met Snuffles in the school yard and Snuffles spent some time convincing him of what he was after, so they worked together to get Scabbers.  Built quite a bond since they both where after the same thing.
