Well,  for the biggest inconsistency in the plot, I guess I have to 
say non-use  of Veritaserum at Sirius' trial . Sure, tightly 
regulated drug and all  that, but if not at such trial then when 
exactly is it supposed to be  used?


Sherrie here:
  
They couldn't use Veritaserum at Sirius' trial - there WAS no 
trial.   Crouch had him sent to Azkaban without even a sham trial.
  


Alla:

Yes, I know. Sorry for being unclear - what I meant is using 
veritaserum when they tried to figure out whether Sirius was guilty 
or innocent. I at least hope they conducted SOME sort of 
investigation, because Dumbledore did testify at some kind of 
hearing.

Although, I suppose if Dumbledore gave "evidence" of Sirius' guilt, 
they did not bother with Veritaserum. I still consider it to be very 
inconsistent.

JMO,
