Ally:

But Alla, you've argued previously that Sirius didn't commit 
attempted murder when he sent Snape to the Shrieking Shack, didn't 
you (I honestly don't remember exactly, but it seems like that was 
your point in that discussion - correct me if I'm wrong)?  If so, why 
is this attempted murder and Sirius' actions were not?
