  Saraquel says:  More significantly, why was Sirius allowed to stay at
Hogwarts and not expelled, what punishment did he recieve?  If I was
Snape, knowing that someone had deliberately set out to either kill me
or at least make me into a werewolf for the rest of my life, I would
be pretty pissed off if they were only given a detention. 
===============

The Sirius-admiration I've read about constantly since PoA has always
boggled my mind -- since we learned about that particular incident. 
Sirius was no more than an orchestrator of an attempted murder, and
meant to frame an allegedly dear friend for said attempted murder. 
While Sirius may have been on the "right" side of the fight against
Voldemort, he was NOT a nice person and should've been prosecuted then
and there, certainly not allowed to remain at school with his intended
victim.
