Alla:

NO, Magda. What Alla says is that Remus and Sirius were telling the 
truth, but not WHOLE truth, that besides Sirius' boredom they may 
have OTHER, ADDITIONAL motives for their encounters .
What Alla also says that it is to early to reveal the whole truth 
for plot reasons. :o)

I don't see why it is so implausible to imagine, if we can imagine 
some very noble motives...hmmm let's say for Snape to treat Harry 
the way he does.
