Sirius DID want to take Harry, but Hagrid told him no, that Professor 
Dumbledore had told him to bring Harry to him.  That's when Sirius 
gave/loaned him the motorbike.  AFTER Hagrid says he is taking 
Harry.  I think Sirius felt now that with James and Lily were dead, 
betrayed by ratboy, AND without Harry his godson...  wait a minute, 
back the bike up...  WHY would Sirius say he wouldn't need his bike 
anymore?!  Because James and Lily were dead?  Because ratboy was a 
Voldemort butt kisser?  Because he had mistakenly thought Remus the 
spy?  Because Dumbledore would not let him have Harry?  I don't think 
so...  I could see him giving up the bike IF he was going to have an 
infant to tote around, but at that point he wasn't.

Lynnette, who thinks Snape IS a good guy, even if he is NOT a nice
guy!
