Conspiracy theory to follow:
Have you guys seen the update to the Lexicon's timeline? As Steve said:
"Is anyone else as curious as I am that Fudge would have been the first
on the scene?" And Sirius never got a trial? Sounds fishy fishy to me!
Sounds like Fudge wanted one of DD's top Order members out of the way.
Why? I haven't the foggiest. So Peter wouldn't get caught? I find it very
strange that a wizard as inept as Peter bested Sirius in a duel. Who
*really* cast the Cheer Charm* that made Sirius cackle so crazily and
make everyone believe he was a psycho?

*Cheer Charm isn't canon. Someone on this list suggested that Sirius was
laughing when he was arrested because Peter hit him with that charm
during the duel. The question is, why? Was Peter trying to defend himself
against Sirius without hurting him? Was Peter just that inept of a
dueler? Or was the Cheer Charm part of a larger plot?

After the arrest, I suspect Fudge did everything he could to make sure
everyone forgot about Sirius being in prison -- perhaps to save his own
skin. If it became known that Sirius was innocent, perhaps the entire
plot could be unraveled.

And how *did* Sirius figure out that night on Oct 31, 1981 that Voldemort
was attacking the Potters? Did another supposed "good guy" tip Sirius
off, so he'd go crazy with vengence and attack Peter? (Oh, please let it
be Hagrid...)

<whimper> Talking about Sirius and Azkaban makes me so freaking
depressed....
