I don't think Harry has forgotten about Sirius... you're forgetting
that Harry just heard a prophecy that either he is going to die or v
is going to die... i think he has no choice but to try to move on and
start to think about how he's going to survive.  even with dd telling
Harry its all about choices (which has always been big in j's book --
even in chamber, dd tells harry that he wasnt put in Slytherin because
he chose not -- its his choices that makes him diff from v) Harry
realizes that he must kill Voldemort regardless to have peace... thats where
his attention is laying.  he says himself if he laid around thinking of
sirius all the time, he wouldn't get on -- it seems like he's
repressing until he has found that he can deal with it.
