    Yes, as there was a killer on the loose, suspected to be super crazy and in the area. In which case, would it be safe for the other kids?

    It’s not logical whichever way you look at it.

      It’s because they thought Black was going for retribution on Harry so they probably figured that he was largely laser focused on him. Though he did blow up a bunch of folks in their eyes so that logic doesnt really hold water.

      TLDR: Rowling dumb and doesn’t even think things through within the same book.

        Yes, but they also thought he was a crazy psychopath, on top of blowing people up. So, still not the kid friendly environment that would be suitable, if logic is used.

        But they are kids books, so it’s not a big deal. However, she’s not a genius author. She struck it lucky. Like many, she thinks it’s merit based, now that she’s a billionaire. And she uses that big brain to trample on the rights of others. If she wasn’t a billionaire, she’d be the crazy psychopath she wrote about (who in this case turned out to be a good guy in the books; she wouldn’t ).

          But as an extra layer, weren’t Dumbledore and Co in on Sirius being framed? I thought it was low key known that Sirius “being a bad guy” was just Ministry propaganda or whatever.
