Did DD lie about the Prophecy? / Sirius

<<It was a not-so subtle warning. Because the Prophecy
wasn't about Peter, it was about Sirius.

There's Harry, getting all gooey about leaving Privet
Drive, ready to move in with a criminal on the run,
the person who bears a large proportion of the blame
for the deaths of his parents ( and that's if you're
of a generous disposition - Sirius being stupidly
brilliant with the SK swap - if you're more suspicious
you may think a lot worse). And he's known this
character for maybe half-an-hour. 

Wonderful. Just what DD needs - Harry removed from
protection and under the influence of someone who has
the cool, analytical planning ability of a wet cat and
just happens to be the subject of a major manhunt.
Harry might survive for two days - if he's lucky.
Sirius has no wand and Harry is hardly the world's
best wizard at this point. And if he uses his wand the
Ministry will nail him. Nah, it's a disaster waiting
to happen..>>

Kelsey:

Not quite sure what's going on here, so I'll speak in
a mousy little voice, and ask, "Are you saying what I
think you're say? Are you saying that Sirius is ESE?"

NOOO!!

It can't be, it just can't be. The one comforting
thought I had as my most beloved character slipped
through the veil was, "well, at least he died as good
as I believed him to be."

Ok, long, deep, breaths.

First of all. Sirius asked Harry to come live with
him, once Sirius' name was cleared. So he wasn't
trying to suggest that Harry hide out with him on the
run or something. Sirius and Harry were assuming, at
that point that Sirius would be cleared, he would be
free to walk the streets and live a normal life, and
buy a nice house in the suburbs (not Grim-old-place)
and live happy normal wizards lives. Haha, sob.

<< the person who bears a large proportion of the
blame for the deaths of his parents ( and that's if
you're of a generous disposition - Sirius being
stupidly brilliant with the SK swap - if you're more
suspicious you may think a lot worse).>>

Oh yes, but that's _why_ I love Sirius' pathetic
character so very much. "Stupidly brilliant" is
right!!!! Sirius is a brilliant guy (his teachers say
so, he acts intelligent and logical in the cave at
Hogsmeade). So, he thinks logically that Voldemort
will come after him, best friend of James. Sirius is
willing to die to save the Potters, but he knows that
that is not enough. So he uses his intelligence to
protect them, using the SK switchero. (Hey, it would
have worked perfectly if Wormtail wasn't the spy. In
fact, it worked so well that 13 years later, everyone,
including DD thought Sirius was the SK). It's not
Sirius' fault that Wormtail lived up to his name.

Fast forward years spent in Azkaban, forced to relive
his guilt over and over again (torment is so
attractive..., um, what was I saying, oh, yeah...).
Everyone says that Sirius was unable to mature because
of years spent in Azkaban. I agree, and yet, I also
have to make the point that Sirius acts as most people
would, in his situation. He's faced with moral
decisions. Follow his brain/logic/intelligence or
follow his emotions/heart? Well, last time he used
logic/intelligence, it failed him and cost him his
best friends. If he'd followed his emotions/heart and
protected them himself, things may have worked better.

Sirius failed. But it wasn't really his fault. Poor
guy.

Kelsey, who can sympathize with Sirius' problem of his
debating heart and head.
