Hannah: I do agree that JKR's FAQ answer pretty much nails down the 
coffin lid on the Sirius was a DE theory, just from the way it's 
written (and I take it as meaning she does like him, though I know 
some posters feel she's indicating she doesn't).  But can I point 
out that Sirius being a DE is a separate thing from Sirius being the 
secret-keeper traitor.  There seems no doubt to me that Pettigrew 
was a DE, and was the traitor who betrayed the Potters.  I think the 
theory was suggesting that Sirius was a DE *as well*.
