Pippin:
Nice post Carol. I would just like to add a little correction. Dumbledore
did know that Sirius could enter the Shrieking Shack, since he knew
that Sirius  had once told Snape how to enter it. Snape says that he
didn't think Sirius would have had the nerve to use the Shack as a
hideout. I'm sure it was checked multiple times and that nothing was
found. My guess would be Sirius never actually used it as a hideout 
but rather ran to it on the spur of the moment when he realized that 
Harry and Hermione were pursuing him, not running back to the 
castle for help.
