Alla:


Hi!

Actually, I argued that we don't know whether Sirius committed 
attempted murder or not. We don't know all circumstances surrounding 
the Shrieking Shack event. We don't know how much "bad blood" was 
between Snape's and Sirius/or James families which could have made 
Sirius actions understandable OR NOT.


On the other hand, I know all I need to know (at least for now I am 
sure of it :o)) about Draco/Harry relationship and see no mitigating 
circumstances for what they did.
