Potioncat:
This member of the distaff side doesn't care for Sirius either. (Me 
and Molly, what can I say?)  I really don't know why Jo was so upset 
at "killing" him off, unless it was because of the pain it was 
causing Harry.

One of your examples was the confrontation with Snape....I cannot 
understand why Sirius would undermine DD's order!  It certainly 
didn't make Harry's situation any better. Or course, he wasn't very 
good at following orders at all, was he?

Except that I cannot get all the pieces together, I'd suggest 
ESE/Sirius, because I also agree  his escape from Azkaban looks very 
fishy!

Potioncat, who will keep Snape as her "flawed" hero.
