Phineas Nigellus
Harry's beloved godfather. He died two years ago and left Harry his house, number twelve Grimmauld Place, and the house-elf Kreacher, as well. Sirius was a fun-loving man and a protective godfather, though his reach was limited, as he spent his life imprisoned and then on the run for a crime he didn't commit. Sirius was also derisive of Kreacher and treated him poorly when he was alive. He died protecting Harry. Harry brings a version of Sirius back when he walks to his death and in that incarnation, Sirius looks younger and happier than Harry has ever seen him.

Chapter Five
Quotes
Dumbledore would have believed him, he knew it. Dumbledore would have known how and why Harry's wand had acted independently, because Dumbledore always had the answers; he had known about wands, had explained to Harry the strange connection that existed between his wand and Voldemort's...But Dumbledore, like Mad-Eye, like Sirius, like his parents, like his poor owl, all were gone where Harry could never talk to them again.

Quotes
"Sirius was horrible to Kreacher, Harry, and it's no good looking like that, you know it's true. Kreacher had been alone for a long time when Sirius came to live here, and he was probably starving for a bit of affection. I'm sure 'Miss Cissy' and 'Miss Bella' were perfectly lovely to Kreacher when he turned up, so he did them a favor and told them everything they wanted to know. I've said all along that wizards would pay for how they treat house-elves. Well, Voldemort did...and so did Sirius."
