ahhh, order of the phoenix.... <3 i don't have much to add to your oh-so-insightful comments. it's all about stagnation; i had never thought of it so precisely, but yes.
i guess i doubt that snape and sirius could ever manage anything beyond grudging acceptance, in the best of circumstances... but hey, that's me. :}
and as for harry at the end of ootp - i do slightly disagree. i think that he's falling back on his blaming of snape as a defense because of his own guilt about sirius's death; he just can't handle that and the revelations about his parents and his empathy with snape all at once... he retreats; he lashes out. but i firmly believe that the understanding is still there, under the surface, and their relationship will become even more... entangled... in future books.
could swear i had one more thing to say...... doo de doo...... er, i'm happy to say that i don't see harry trusting anyone anytime soon, last of all remus. note that he still calls him Lupin in his mind, and the lack of interaction between those two in general. even if harry doesn't consciously think it, i believe he resents lupin's deliberate non-involvement in his life.
Yay sirius!!! i just finished this cheesy historical adventure with a main character that reminded me of him - charming, brilliant, brave, ruthless. Vendetta in Spain, if you're interested, but be warned - it's very cheesy. kind of like if sirius wrote a novel, subtitled "I Am So Cool." ^_^
grrr.... know i had something more to say..... but maybe not. oh well.
