Ummm, the fact that Sirius KNEW dark magic is kind of a given to me. 
You know, takes an expert to know one. :o) The fact that he run away 
from it is a given to me too.

I will not be surprised AT ALL, if it will turn out to be true - you 
know, deception and misunderstanding on both sides of the equations. 
Like maybe Severus wanted to escape his home too, but for some 
reason could not, but Sirius did not know about it. 


Potioncat:
I still think Polyjuice is dark magic.  It could only be found in a  
book in the restricted section, and the book, by Hermione's 
statement was full of dark magic.

Alla:

Sorry not enough evidence for me to consider Polyjuice dark magic. 
Do you remember if they ever learned it in Potions by the way?
