Magda: 
And how many times has someone said oh it's not Sirius' fault that
he's insensitive or reckless, the poor guy never had a chance to
mature in Azkaban because he went there when he was 21/22 boo hoo hoo
poor baby? 

Alla:

By that someone you must have mean JKR right? ;)
 
Magda:
There are personality traits and mental processes that are hardwired 
by the time you're in your teens and there's not a lot that can be 
done to change them.

Alla:

We differ on that one, because then many people would have stopped 
their personal development in their teens and that would have been 
very sad picture.

JMO,
