>I used to think that Sirius did something reckless between GoF and OoTP to merit house arrest, but turned out that it was just one of those huh? moments.<
Oh Sirius *totally* did something to merit house arrest. After Albus went to the trouble to arrange for someone else to help him escape from Britain, he was supposed to *stay away*/
INstead there he is back again like a bad penny getting underfoot before the next year was half over, daring to give Harry advice and generally in a position to meddle with Albus's arrangements. Can't have that, can we?
What else was Albus to do but park him at #12, with Lupin to keep him company (rather than be out monitoring the werewolves) and the rest of the Order to keep an eye on him and make sure that he *stays* there? I'd say Sirius was very much in disgrace and under house arrest all through OotP. The twins and Snape even taunted him about it.
In fact, don't you think the Order already *had* a Headquarters? What happened to it? Was it the house in Godric's Hollow where the Potters were killed? Is that why Albus moved operations into London so they could all sit on Sirius? Just what was his "cunning plan" to explain that?
