Betsy, Betsy, Betsy I am hurt <g>. You did not do it for me as well, 
you only did it for Jen. NOW I know for sure which one of us you 
like better.

Now, back to Sirius.

I cannot choose my favorite Sirius moments. I love all about him - 
good and bad, even it is very bad.

As Katy said I started to like Sirius when he offered Harry home. 
For the first time I saw an adult offering Harry love - not because 
he wanted something from Harry but just because.

 Add to this the innocent  man suffering in hell of Azkaban and me 
coming from the country where so many innocents who opposed the 
regime suffered unjustly and I was sold, my heart was with Sirius 
since then.

I love Sirius when he leaves his safe haven and rushes to Harry when 
he needs him in GoF - eating rats and all that.

I love Sirius friendship with James and deep love which he is still 
able to feel for Harry after twelve years in Azkaban.

I love Sirius recklessness and Sirius arrogance and yes, him being a 
bully in pensieve scene. Why I love it? Because I see complex 
character on the page who does good things and bad things, who 
reacts differently to people and events and who still loves Harry.

Sirius found his place in my heart when he offered what I think is 
act of love to Harry and I think he died for Harry too.

Was I disappointed when I realized that as somebody said Sirius was 
primarily created to make sure Harry experiences another loss and 
that's it?

Sure, I was. I know it is Harry's story and he is my favorite 
character, but I sure hope there will be good reason Sirius was 
killed, plot wise, because Harry has to go alone, well just does not 
really cut it for me.

Alla.
