Sherry now:

Here's my guess, for what it's worth.  i agree that the Sirius we saw in
OOTP was a very different person from the one we saw in the previous books.
i do count POA, because I never believed he was out to kill Harry.  That was
such an obvious red herring.  But in OOTP, he was quite different.

i don't have my braille book handy, but I remember the brief passing mention
of Harry reading in Herbology about some kind of plant that caused, was it
confusion and rashness?  i can't remember the exact phrasing, but I'm sure
someone here can quote the text.  that was just dropped into the text and
never mentioned again.  We've also been told by JKR, that if we will wait,
we will find out something about the death of Sirius that is very important.
i think that someone--take your pick, Kreacher, Snape, Lupin, molly--pick
your favorite ESE character, may have been tampering with his food or drink
and causing this reaction.  Perhaps, I just don't want to believe Sirius
changed so much, but he's truly poles apart from who he was in GOF, and
there's got to be a very important reason for that.
