HPFC Topic #6: Harry & the Godfather
The topic was originally suggested by myself, so I hope you'll all find it interesting.
The relationship between Harry and Sirius.

We know that Harry has had a hard childhood and trusting doesn't come easy, so why does he trust his godfather so quickly and so completely? What makes their relationship so special?
Remember to stick to the forum rules and have fun! Also I'd like to remind everyone that we need new topic for discussion. If you have one please suggest it here.

Interesting topic! I think he trusts Sirius a lot coz he's the closest thing he has to his dad, he was James' best friend afterall. Also he could feel guilty about not originally trusting Sirius, so he's making up for it by trusting him loads now, he's doing this sort of... automatically if you know what I mean... *is thinking of complicated psycology*
I think Harry likes Sirus so much is because Sirus says Harry reminds him of his dad. And Sirus is the closest thing Harry has to his parents and such, so thats why he likes him.

of course, Harry always likes being told he's like his dad (except for a brief period in OoTP) and Sirius always says that, and even when he's not saying that Harry knows he's thinking it...

But I think that there must be more than just being told that he's like his dad. I mean, think about it. Do you like someone because they always tell you that you're like someone they're friends with? I rather believe that there must be some deep emotional connection. But why? Maybe because of some very distant childhood memories Harry has of Sirius?

Once again, I say coz Sirius was the closest thing to Harry's dad, but he also may have some memories of Sirius. Sirius was around for at least year of Harry's life... What might have helped is that Sirius offered to take Harry away from the Dursleys, that certainly made Harry like him...
I agree but I think that there was something even greater maybe even something in a distant memory like a sacrifice or sirius helping james from some terrible tradgedy

Cheers to Sirius returning in the next book! But we're getting off topic here.

I'd even go so far and call Sirius his substitute father. What I like about their relationship is that they trust each other so much, which I think is really beautiful, because Harry doesn't trust many people. Also, in Order of the Phoenix, during his angry!shouting time, Harry only listens to one person: his godfather.

^^ I agree, I thought it was so cute when Harry stopped Sirius and Snape fighting eachother, he doesn't want Sirius to do anything stupid! Sirius is Harry's closest link to the past, so he's very protective even though he's much younger.
I think he trusted him so much because he's basically like his father and the only family he had left. Plus, the fact that he didn't trust him before made him feel bad and I think they're really close and they just click with each other.

SPOILER!!: [OoTP Stuff
] In OoTP film they put in an interesting twist, which was Sirius calling Harry James I nearly cried... The makers of OoTP obviously think Sirius saw Harry as a replacement James!
Have a very Harry day!!
