Sirius blames himself for not seeing through Pettigrew, but not for having
such a cockamamie idea in the first place -- he's still proud of it.




Sherry now:
I think where Sirius erred was in not seeing through Pettigrew.  If Peter
had been loyal, it would have been a brilliant plan, actually, because
nobody would have suspected it.  But of course, how old were they all when
this was going on?  of age, but surely not really mature yet.  They were
young and inexperienced enough to be naturally and normally reckless.
Unfortunately, that natural, normal aspect of life, had disastrous
consequences.  I've just always thought that though foolhardy, brash and not
using wisdom to make the plan, Sirius' heart was in the right place, trying
to defend and protect his pack.
