I was referring to Sirius telling Harry about him being named his Guardian, not just Godfather and yes, IMO it implies all legal obligations and rights coming with it. I do not need to hear about the written wishes, you know? What he says is enough for me to conclude that such wishes were expressed and Dumbledore went against them.


luirhys: I don't think Dumbledore was intentionally taking Harry away from Sirius. He is, after all, believed to be a murderer and traitor. Although, I'm a bit skewed on the details. 

Did DD suspect Sirius right away to be the traitor? We know he right away gave orders to Hagrid that Baby Harry be taken to Privet Drive- Hagrid met Sirius on the way, where he lent him his motorcycle. Obviously, this is before he went after Pettigrew. Probably DD's suspicions of Sirius being the traitor led him to take actions into his own hands- which is find another safe place for Harry.
