Betsy Hp:
Is Sirius loyal to Remus?  Up until James and Lily and Harry were 
betrayed to Voldemort, Sirius thought Remus was the traitor.  So 
there was a good long time when Sirius probably had no loyalty 
towards Remus.  And from the brief glimpse we had during the pensieve 
scene it looked like the core friendship was James and Sirius with 
Remus and Peter more on the outside.  Sirius was awfully cavalier 
about Remus' disease as well. I'm not saying Sirius didn't *like* 
Remus, but I think his loyalty was mainly towards James.

Just a thought.
