Okay, now I'm totally running that fanfic possibility through my head. Thanks!
I definitely agree mentioning the potion and later finding out it was used is very JKR--when I read the book I completely thought that's where it was going and that Kreacher was going to turn out to have poisoned Sirius, but I prefer the idea that whatever Sirius was going through was just what he was going through. I agree with someone somewhere else who pointed out that far from being befuddled Sirius was all-too-aware of exactly where he was and what his prospects were.
With regards to Snape--exactly. Can you imagine him having to sit at dinner with kids who treat him with disrespect as well as adults? If I were him I can imagine just taking the position of, "You're only asking me to dinner for politeness sake, so I will politely refuse."
