Mmmm.  I kinda set this question up, I think, because I said 
something about Snape being the better man.  I'm rethinking that.  
Because I *do* like Sirius.  He's intensely loyal and will go to the 
*wall* to protect those he loves.  I think that's why Lily and James 
chose Sirius to be Harry's godfather (which answers a question posed 
by... Alla, I think?).

Alla:

I am glad to hear that you do like Sirius, Betsy. :o) However I did 
not post that question at all, because I realise why Sirius was 
chosen as a Godfather.

I did ask some other questions though, so if you feel like answering 
them, I refer you to my 127025 post. :)

I don't think Sirius *meant* to almost kill Snape back in the day, 
but the fact is, he did.  (The fact of the life-debt is what has me 
so sure the Prank was life threatening.)  It would have been nice if 
Sirius had seemed just a touch apologetic.

Alla:

No, sorry. I disagree that it is a fact that Sirius almost killed 
Snape. The fact is that Sirius told Snape how to get to the Shack. 
The fact is that getting to the Shack sure was life threatening does 
not translate to me into " Sirius almost killed Snape"( it is a 
possibility, but in my opinion only not a fact). If Sirius somehow 
brought Snape to the Shack ( Imperioed him as the most obvious 
example), then to me it would be a fact.

I'm also of the mind that Snape does *not* hate Harry.  I think 
Harry annoys the crap out of him, but I don't think he hates Harry.

Alla:

I do. :)


Just my opinion of course,
