Finwitch:

I disagree, considering that

1) the dream- much alike the dreams which were REAL, dreams that 
saved the life of Arthur Weasley, for instance - showed  Sirius being 
tortured. Taking into account what happened to Neville's parents, 
well...

2) Hermione had disregarded her OWN idea, into which she had 
persuaded Harry - the DA club - just because Sirius supports it!

Nah - I think that if Harry hadn't run to Sirius' rescue, despite of 
what Hermione said - even if it was a trap - that would have been 
terribly WRONG of him. And Harry *did* listen, enough to call 12 
Grimmauld Place. And mind you, Harry had reason to doubt that when it 
comes to Sirius, Hermione loses her head.

I agree on the crucio part - why's he casting the very thing he 
wanted to save Sirius from?

and of his earlier life - well, in PoA, attacking Malfoy under 
invisibility cloak. (and he DID regret it, as I recall.) Fight openly 
and fairly, fine enough if you really must, but sneakily when you're 
invisible? It just wasn't honourable.
