Sirius Black

Sirius Black III, also known as Padfoot, Sirius Black and Snuffles, is a character from the Harry Potter series.
== Charactah Account ==
The white sheep of the elitist House of Black, James and Lily Potter's best man, and one of the finest members of the Order of the Phoenix. Sirius was falsely convicted and sent to Azkaban for leaking information to Voldemort and murdering Peter Pettigrew. Acts as Harry's godfather and is the most consistent father-figure for the Boy Who Lived despite being on the run from the Ministry of Magic.
Sirius was true to the ideal of a Gryffindor student. He was true-hearted and brave, as shown by his participation in both wars and his willingness to die for those he loved. He was particularly loyal to his best friend, James Potter, a fellow Gryffindor. In his youth, he was a witty and talented wizard, but he was also quite an arrogant and mischievous troublemaker and, sometimes, a bully. He bullied and humiliated those he particularly disliked, namely Severus Snape.
Sirius was vicious towards those he hated, sometimes unjustifiably — deliberately sending the teenage Snape off to the Shrieking Shack when Remus Lupin was a full-fledged werewolf while knowing that it could be fatal for Severus. He, along with James, were acknowledged to be some of the most brilliant students Hogwarts had ever seen, as proven by their ability to become Animagi as underage wizards and by the creation of the Marauders' Map.

== Trivia ==
* In the books, Sirius did look good before he went to Azkaban and his health deteriorated. The movies, though, cast him as good-looking but much older Gary Oldman.
* Sirius met Harry in his early 30s, and died at the age of 36. Gary Oldman was already 45 in the film version of Prisoner of Azkaban. However, Sirius is noted to look aged from the effects of the Dementors.
* Sirius is name-dropped in the first book as the guy who lent Hagrid the flying motorbike he needed to get baby Harry to Privet Drive. Then he becomes a major player in the third book.
