Thank you! I am a Sirius fan and I did cry when he died (Did 
he ? :o)), but I also thought that he sometimes did act irresponsibly 
in OoP. I put most of the blame on great Dumbledore, of course, who 
did not come up with the better plan than to lock already traumatised 
by long imprisonment man in the house, where he did his best to 
escape from as a teenager.

I also think that it is possible that Kreacher poisoned him.

Anyway, you outlined it very nicely. Sirius was right all along
