I too believe that Sirius loved Regulus. Really, half the time, I forget DH exists. Like I totally forgot the part in DH where it was revealed Sirius never met Ted and Tonks until post-Azkaban! That is something that doesn't mix with my personal canon, or the canon of many people I RP with, at all. Other than the location of the Horcruxes and Bellatrix dying (sorry, but I can't stand her), I really do ignore DH. Yes, I hated that book that much.
I agree Scrimgeour was a better Minister than Fudge. That makes me think of another issue I have with DH and the HP series in general...if the DE have taken over the Ministry and the Wizarding school. where the hell are the other Wizarding governments? I mean, there's no way they can't be at least suspicious, and we all know that the US has a history of sticking their noses into everyone else's business. I can just see the Americans trying to help out here! You know, that would make for a great game or fic...!
I called Snily back during OotP, so that was always part of my personal canon. But that doesn't make him straight, like some would insist...you know? I forget that most of the DH deaths happened, actually. I just wish more would forget them too, especially Fred's. It's getting harder and harder to find any games to bring my post-war Fred to these days, and it sucks. :/
