Sirius was just brilliant as a teenager. You’ll have to trust us on this one. After all, Voldemort was also brilliant as a teenager and look at him now. The idiocy of the adult is directly in proportion to the genius of the teenager, just like real life.
Heh. Sirius was way smarter and more controlled in GoF and even PoA than in OotP, I think. I kind of agree with the people who say the Sirius characterization was OTT in book 5--the stress of living in his mom's house couldn't possibly be worse than the stress of living surrounded by Dementors.
Alas, Snape will not be immune to overreaction to an accusation of cowardice. What I'd really love is for an HP character to say, "Damn right I'm a coward! Since you seem to be using 'coward' as a synonym for 'sane,' that is."
Snape and Draco's story in HBP must be the most elaborate mechanism to move a wooden stick from one hand to another in the history of literature.

Hah! I think this perfectly sums it up.
