LOL, but I guess, Alla, you don't have kids? Or you'd be familiar with
perfect strangers telling you what ought to be done with them, never
mind former headmasters or old family friends  :)   If Sirius couldn't
resist that kind of pressure, he wasn't ready. 

Not that I'm convinced it *was* Sirius. It's perfectly possible that the 
black box which holds Dumbledore finding out about GH contains 
an altered timeline in which Fake!Sirius got there first and baby 
Harry went missing.

That would account for a lot, but it deserves a separate post.

Meanwhile, canon that the Order does take responsibility for the
orphaned children of its members:

"And as for who's going to look after Ron and Ginny if you and 
Arthur died," said Lupin, smiling slightly, "what do you think
we'd do, let them starve?" -OOP ch 9
