This person was on a sorting community of which I'm part of. H/she did not like the House into which s/she was sorted (Gryff) and was doing an appeal. I'm on the board for that. H/she thought that Sirius' relationship with Harry was "disturbing," and that they should have been separated. h/she also considers Sirius a liar, a fool, reckless, immature, etc. What struck me most was the utter lack of compassion and the way s/she clung to preconceived notions of what an "adult" is.
Personally, I think that Sirius was a wonderful Godfather to Harry. He loved him and, most importantly, did NOT treat him like a child. That is what Harry really needed in his life, anyway, not parental authority, but someone who would be open and honest and tell him the truth. Besides, Sirius loved him enough to risk his life and that's HUGE.
Ironically, I got asked to write Harry/Sirius for a fest. (I'm Pinch Hitting.) Thank GAWD their second choice was MWPP-era R/S because I just don't think I could do it. I'm with you on that one!
Do you have a link to that fic or was it just as idea. I rally like that.
