Goddlefrood responds:

Well yes, actually we do. Sirius himself as you mention him. If you 
recall when he is first described in detail in the Shrieking Shack 
in POA. Therein he is said to be hollow faced and practically 
unrecognisable as the person who smiled so happily at the Potters' 
wedding. It is only latter when he does smile that Harry sees a vage 
resemblance.

Moving forward less than two years to when we meet Sirius at Number 
Twelve Grimmaud Place in OotP his appearance has changed quite 
appreciably and he is said to bear a strong resemblance to the 
person who smiled happily at the Potters' wedding.

Also there is no indication that, apart from Tonks, anyone got a 
close look at the BBDE's face, as I think I mentioned in the earlier 
post. There is also a good likelihood that the DEs were hooded and 
the only facet of the BBDE described, other than his sixe, is his 
hair colur, which could quite easily have been long enoung to extend 
below such a hood.
