Hannah now: 
"Could our friend Severus Snape have anything to do with 
it?  I find it hard to understand why Snape didn't know that 
Pettigrew was the traitor, since the other death eaters seemed to 
know, judging by their lack of surprise at finding him by LV's side 
at his return.  Maybe he didn't know until after the betrayal 
occurred (because that raises the question of why he didn't tell DD 
if he did know who the traitor was), and perhaps he decided it would 
be rather fitting to see his old enemy Black in Azkaban.  He could 
have lied to DD about having found some sort of damning evidence 
that Black was indeed the traitor."

DuffyPoo:
But then why would DD still trust Snape as he so obviously does, and says, as late as OotP?  He would have known of the deception by PoA.


Hannah:
"Perhaps DD felt that it was necessary to have Sirius out of the way, 
so that he had control over Harry's fate himself.  It was best for 
Harry to go to the Dursleys, however nasty,"

DuffyPoo:
There's a world of difference between growing up at the Dursley's and spending twelve years in Azkaban.  IMO.  If DD had left an innocent man - any innocent man, not just Sirius - in Azkaban for twelve years it would make him quite as evil as LV, in my mind.
