Meri: Well, and I am a Sirius defender saying this, old Snuffles 
isn't known for rational behavior in difficult situations. Sirius, 
realizing there must be a traitor somewhere in the Maurauder's 
midst, had just come upon the dead bodies of his best friend/brother 
and his wife and was told that he couldn't have custody of Harry, 
his last link to them. Rational thought is not an option here. Nor 
it seems is contacting DD. Even Hagrid, who was trusted with 
carrying Harry, didn't see the man til twenty four hours later. 

all if this caused me to rethink the way things happened in

Meri: Well, I would say that we do not know even close to the whole 
story of that fateful Halloween night. Though I am sure that Lily 
and James are both legitimately dead.
