SSSusan:
Now *this* I agree with.  I have come to the conclusion that some of 
the Sirius Bashers are right on many counts, but I do think if 
Sirius had lived, and once the war had ended, he might've turned out 
to be a very decent kind of guy.  I did enjoy him at times--I have 
no doubt he could be loads of fun to be around--and I appreciated 
his *desire* to be helpful to Harry.  He was surly and dark cooped 
up in GP and not especially helpful to Harry when goading him to do 
dangerous things.  But if he'd been able to be out & about, doing 
useful things, unburdened by Voldy's return and the prospect of a 
war, cleared fully & publically, I think he'd have been less likely 
to be so surly, reckless & rash, and more likely to have grown out 
of SOME of his rashness.

There.  THAT'S safe, then.  No canon to turn to; all simply "what 
if"! :-)
