Mandy here:
I too, tried to be just an observer but.....have to disagree with 
your last statement.  

Sirius died because he let his emotions get the better of him.  He 
laughed at Bellatrix and she killed him. I'd call that a critical 
moment.

The Secret Keeper switch. Yet another critical moment.  Sirius made 
the switch because 'he' thought it would be the best for everybody. 
It didn't matter that DD probably organized the whole plan. Sirius 
allowed his emotions for James overwhelm what he knew to be the most 
sensible plan of action in keeping the Potter safe.
