That needs an icon. XD
I can see how Sirius might have thought of Harry as nothing but his last contact to James, especially after Azkaban, but why is there then no indication of that in GoF?
From like five comments ago. I think it had to do with the war starting up in earnest after GoF. His last and probably strongest memories of James are from the war, I'd think, and what with the Order starting back up, the two different time periods would have seemed a hell of a lot more similar in book 5 than they would have in book 4. James was never involved in a tournament the way that Harry was, so there was no real comparison there, but James was definitely a big part of the war and seeing Harry (Jame's twin) in there with the Order would probably, along with the fact that he was feeling left out and all that, have really reminded him of old times. Maybe not so much that he mixed the two up, but enough that he'd be disappointed if Harry didn't react to things like James did.
I never thought about how painful it must have been for Sirius and Lupin to have to see Harry all the time. Since he looks so much like James.
