Lucianam responds (W.A.F.FL.E.S. is fun!!!!):
Oh, but I'm sure there were billowing robes in some scenes. I 
certainly had the impression robes billowed mightily in the werewolf 
class scene in PoA! The one in which Snape enters the classroom in a 
bad mood, banging the windows shut! And the first Potions Class in 
PS/SS? Well, maybe it's Rickman's acting that's making me see 
things...

About Sirius having a shorter haircut in GoF, he had just arrived 
from the tropics. I guess the first thing he did in the hot hot 
tropics was get rid off all the hair (facial too). I know he was on 
the run but maybe folks don't read that many papers in the beach, at 
least I don't.

* pauses to picture mental image of Sirius in beach, surrounded by 
native girls shaving him with a sharp shell - very Robinson Crusoe *

I guess his hair grew again as soon as he got back in Britain and 
had to live in a cave.
