I know that logic (I live for that logic), haha. To me it was slightly different though, I read the books before I got into the fandom etc. And when I did, the opinions about Sirius was either "I like him because he is pretty" or "omg he's such a jerk!!". Both views was so... shallow, it didn't bother me. (If you look at swedish fandom, this is still pretty much the opinion you get. It's quite funny.)

Haha, I remember someone who recced my 'Here and now, the moment', and they said, 'Well, it's not like anyone cares about Sirius, but some people write so well, you have to sympathise.' I don't know if I should be flattered or not, haha. I'm still surprised at how many people gate Sirius because he used to be a bully. Meh, he's just human. At least he's not perfect. He would have been boring. :P

LOL, I think you should be. And yeah, people chose to judge him only based on that memory. As if they are flawless?
