SSSusan:
I don't agree with this remark.  As it was pointed out earlier, 
Sirius had *arranged* to meet Peter this night, to check on him.  
For Peter to have sauntered away for tea -- or anything short of an 
emergency -- without letting Sirius know would have been pretty 
ridiculous in time of war.  

*Just* as people are saying Sirius should've reported in to DD 
before heading to GH, likewise Peter would've been expected to 
contact Sirius if he couldn't keep their appointment.  No, when 
Peter didn't contact him and then subsequently wasn't there at their 
appointed time and place, I don't blame Sirius for presuming the 
worst -- and acting.  Stupid to go solo?  Rash to forget the FC?  Of 
course.  But I'd argue it was also quite "human nature" to have been 
overcome with worry & horror and to have gone with the intention to 
see if the worst had come to his dear friends/if there was anything 
he could do.
