Juli now: When I first read OoP I almost cried when I learned that 
Sirius was been held prisioner by Voldemort. Not for a second did I 
thought it was fake. Even if Sirius and LV are the 2 most wanted 
wizards on the WW, I guess they could just apparate at the DoM, which 
is usually quite lonely (In Harry's visit he only saw Bode who by the 
time of the vision was dead). Harry at first did believe in Hermione, 
that's why he broke into Umbridge's office. 

Besides Hermione shouldn't have said that LV trusted Harry's saving 
people's thing, it was extremely rude. Harry doesn't walk around 
thinking who to save and how to be the hero, when someone he cares 
for is in danger he inmediately tries to help, it's just who he is. 
I've never thought of it as a bad quality, I think it's a great asset 
of him, always thinking of others before him.

On another idea, WHY didn't he open Sirius' package (the 2 way 
mirror)?? JKR has said on her website that it's not the first time he 
forgets a gift, he forgot his knife during the 2nd task at the TWT, 
he may have forgotten before going in the lake, but the minute he got 
to Ron & co he remembered it. He only thinks about the gift long 
after Sirius is dead. What if he had thought about the gift BEFORE 
going into Umbridge's office? Could Sirius be alive then? Forgive me 
but I still can't deal with Sirius' death. Ever since Harry met him 
in PoA, he's love him, and they've always been there for each other. 
I still can't understand why he had to die. Maybe we'll learn why 
someday.
