Alla:

No, actually, I was thinking someone higher up - like Amelia Bones 
for example. Going back to the initial speculation, all what I am 
saying that it is PLAUSIBLE to believe that had Harry not stopped 
Sirius and Remus from killing Peter, the alternate universe story 
would turn out for better not for worse.

Of course, many additional factors may have come out into play OR NOT.

It is possible that Sirius would have given a hearing at that point. 
Whether Ministry thought that Sirius was out of his mind also would 
not matter - since presumabley the person cannot fool this potion, 
right?
