Carol:
So you just think he should just hand a baby over to the person he thinks
was an accomplice in the child's parents' murders and in the attempted
murder of the child himself. Sorry. I can't agree that that's a reasonable
proposition or in the child's best interests. The adult Black's right to
claim his innocence can wait. The fifteen-month-old Harry's right to life
and safety can't.



Sherry:

I can't speak for Alla, though I think I know her well enough to be
confident that isn't at all what she was saying.  But with the later advent
of a little thing called legilimency, something we know DD was good at,
perhaps DD could have managed to bother to talk to Sirius for a few minutes
to find out the truth.  If he had, he'd have known Sirius was innocent and
there could maybe have been a better option than the hateful abusive
Dursleys for Harry.  But of course, that wouldn't fit with what DD wanted
for his sacrificial lamb.
