I guess I find it impossible to ignore " he loved his godson" idea. I 
just don't get how in the series where author keeps emphasizing that 
Love is a major power, major theme, Sirius' love of his godson could 
obscure anything. Sirius had many flaws? Sure he did, but I am just 
thinking that if we will forget about " he loved his godson", we will 
miss something very important thematically. I don't see how one is 
mutually exclusive of another.

JMO,
