Carol responds:
Forgive me, but unless you and I are reading different books, Sirius
was not seeking justice in PoA, he was seeking revenge, a whole
different concept. In his own words, he wanted to commit the murder
he had been arrested for committing. It wouldn't bring James and Lily
back; it would cost him his own soul via a Dementor's mouth; it would
accomplish nothing except to still the maniacal desire to plunge a
twelve-inch knife into the heart of a rat the size of the knife
blade.
Alla:
I am afraid we are reading different books then, Carol. :o) Because
concept of justice to me includes bringing guilty party to just
punishment.
Sure Sirius wanted revenge ( I cannot blame him at all), but he
wanted revenge on someone who he knew FOR SURE was guilty, so I 'd
say he was seeking justice too.
And for someone who was so bent up on revenge,a s you suggested, he
agrees with Harry's suggestion to bring Peter to castle awfully
fast, IMO.
Just my opinion,
Alla
