Carol, not trying to "bash" Sirius Black but wondering why we should take
McGonagall's word that a former Gryffindor who excelled in *her* class
should be regarded as an exceptionally talented or creative wizard
comparable to, say, Severus Snape




Sherry:

What evidence do we have that Snape is brilliant and trustworthy beyond the
word of Dumbledore?  At this point, I'd trust Minerva as much as I'd trust
DD.  And sorry, but Sirius would die to protect his friends, his pack,
whereas  Snape, a coward in my opinion, murdered the person who believed in
him.  I think Sirius was brash and reckless, but a far better man, than
Snape.  I'd rather have had Sirius watching my back, than ever have dared to
turn my back on Snape.

Sherry, believing that the reputation of Sirius Black will be redeemed in
the last book.
