Head Canon Discussion: Sirius & School

[siriusblk_mod]

Since my college just started fall quarter yesterday, I thought a salient topic for our last biweekly head canon discussion post would be:

Sirius & School

1 and 2 - I can picture Remus getting annoyed at both James and Sirius because they never studied but still got good grades. I think J.K.Rowling actually said words to that effect (that James and Sirius were bright but not studious) Like others have said, I don't see him having patience for Potions, and because Snape liked Potions so much, I can just see Sirius spending lessons trying to sabotage Snape.
And he must have been good at Transfiguration to become an Animagus, although I do see Sirius bragging as well.

4 - A lot of fics have Sirius have a Beater, and while I can see Sirius enjoying hitting things at other people, I think he would have told Harry about it. When he told Harry that he was the one who bought the Firebolt, he could have been like "yeah, much better than the broom I used to play on." But he didn't.

5 - I saw a youtube video once of Sirius flirting with McGonagall to wind her up. I can see Sirius doing that, among other things, just to get on her nerves, but only in a joking way. I reckon if anyone did anything to McGonagall, Sirius would be the first to stick up for her (along with James) McGonagall does have a sense of humour (telling Peeves "it unscrews the other way") and I think she loved Sirius (and James) as much as she hated them.
