HP POA Question

[lls_mutant]

First of all, thanks to everyone responding on my earlier post today that had nothing to do with fandom.

Second. Okay. Azkaban is to the North of Scotland, according to the Lexicon, right? So why/how did Sirius traipse ALL THE WAY DOWN TO LITTLE WHINGING to see Harry before going BACK TO THE NORTH OF SCOTLAND? I mean, I came up with what I consider a VERY reasonable explanation, but JKR, you make my head hurt.

I would agree with thistlerose here.

And anyway, Sirius would have had no reason to go to Hogwarts before september, and the fact that he crossed the whole of Britain is another proof of the way he'll do anything for the ones he loves :)

Plus we don't know how many time there was between Sirius' escape and the Muggles knowing it/telling it in the news. There could be plenty of time for Sirius to travel -he could have walked, jumped into trucks, "borrowed" the Floo of some absent wizard...

The travel part is easy. It's just dealing with that one sentence about wanting to see Harry before he began his journey north. It's even easy to get around, it's just annoying. ::sigh:: Ah well! This is JKR, after all ;)
