In response to the idea of Harry not being able to have a "deep 
love" for Sirius because he didnt know him well enough. We need to 
remeber that Sirius is the nearest thing to a parent Harry has got, 
and as Harry doesnt remeber his own parents any instinct to love a 
family member will be projected onto Sirius. Of course there are the 
Dursleys, who are blood relatives, but Harry has no real emotional 
attachment to them. Then there are the Weasleys, who have treated 
Harry like part of the family, but I dont think anything quite 
compares to Sirius's role in Harrys life, even if Harry wasn't fully 
aware of it. Sirius has a great love for Harry too, and surely Harry 
is able to pick up on that too.
