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.

Distance isn't really an issue in the WW. And yeah, Sirius' first priority was to protect Harry. I don't see why he wouldn't go to Little Whinging, even if he was a one-legged Muggle. It's not that far, he hasn't seen his godson in 12 years, and Harry is all he has left of James. A Sirius that doesn't go straight to Harry no matter where Harry is...would be a different person. Meh.

Distance technically isn't, but it's implied he didn't Apperate. He says (and this is the quote that givs me trouble) he went to see Harry before he began the journey north. That makes it sound like he did let the distance matter.

But it's easy enough to work out. Just frustrating to have JKR make my head hurt like that!
