Demetra:
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you might want 
to take a look at a thread started by Kneasy, post# 103685.  My 
response was #104067.  

Despite his many faults, I don't think Sirius was ever a DE.  
However, I do find it interesting that on her Website, JKR refers to 
Sirius as the "most dangerous" of all the marauders.  More dangerous 
than the traitor Peter?  More dangerous than the guy who turns into a 
hairy, murderous beast once a month?  Makes you go hmmmmmmm.
