Yes, but we were just playing with it, I thought - how it may apply 
in RL loosely if it does.

Beats me, really.

Alla:

Those things do not bother me much since I could never put a positive 
spin on them, and even when I did not know the extent of DD 
manipulativeness, I thought that DD was being a manipulative bastard 
here. Thus, all fits perfectly for me. If JKR wants me to think 
positive of them - then no can do, sorry.

Bravo, well said.

Alla:

Sure, agreed, but I still think he should have tried - not for DD, 
but for Harry and for himself, sort of exhausting all possibilities.

Like as I said, Sirius do not going to DD after Azkaban does not 
bother me a bit, I would NEVER go to DD, had he treated me that way.

I would be sure he would throw me back to jail without listening to 
me, after all he already did something like that.

BUT Sirius does not know that yet and I think he should have gone to 
DD, even though I agree he already seemed to make a decision.

<SNIP>

Alla:

DD stopped Ron and Hermione from contacting Harry with important 
things after GoF - nothing to help the boy heal after trauma of 
graveyard. No idiots from the Order till he was fifteen contacted 
Dursleys.

JMO,
