presenting Harry as a role model of someone who overcame tough 
childhood, but Sirius? He is every bit as MEAN as Snape is, if not 
meaner. He is mean to Peter, he is mean to Molly, he is mean to 
Kreacher, he is even mean to Harry when Harry does not play along.

nice to Malfoys, for example.

Alla:

I will raise a bit different objection - being mean to Harry 
**once** 
does not really count for me. And being mean to Molly? When? When 
she remarked that he is not good enough to raise his godson in 
essense? Or are you thinking of a different event?

If we are thinking of the same one, then I would give Molly much 
meaner answer than Sirius, frankly. Because I found her remark to be 
beyond obnoxious.

And yeah, he is mean to Kreacher. I still cannot count as many 
people as I can count for Snape.

Not that I want to present Sirius' as role model, lol. But Snape for 
me is way ahead in that department. Even if you include that hurtful 
remark to Harry Sirius made.

Who else Sirius' is mean to? Because him being mean more than one I 
can only count Kreacher and his dear old mom. Not a surprise for me 
at all.

Snape, let's see. Hermione, Ron, Neville, Tonks, Lupin, Sirius, 
Harry of course. And that I can remember right away.



Alla.
