* TheMillstone: [[HateSink Lockhart is almost worse here than he is in-canon.]] He spends almost every waking moment trying to direct all attention to Harry, encouraging students to stalk him and behave like LoonyFan[=s=] (something the staff had taken great pains to prevent in the previous year) to leech off of his fame. As a self-appointed mentor to Harry, he has NoListeningSkills, thinking that Harry's aversion to attention is him being modest and continues to hound him. As a DADA teacher, [[KnowNothingKnowItAll he has absolutely no idea what he is doing]] and [[ItsAllAboutMe makes the class all about him]]. As a role model [[AntiRoleModel he is a hazard]], encouraging bad behavior among students to the point of it becoming a problem in every other class. As a student, Filius claims that [[ClassClown he was always a blow-hard and a problem-child]], none of the other staff knowing about it because he tried so hard to keep his antics relegated to the Ravenclaw common-rooms. As a Hogwarts staff-member, [[TheFriendNobodyLikes no one likes him]], almost to the point where all of the teachers are completely understanding as to why Harry made sure to keep the Chamber of Secrets a secret just to find a place to get away from him and his bad influence. This is all made worse by his popularity, making it that much harder for the teachers to find a good excuse to get rid of him without causing a scandal. He is so obnoxious, that Harry considered [[spoiler: using his aura of reason to gamble that it would clear the man's head and make him less obnoxious, but that would mean ''purposefully'' spending his free time around him and deciding against it.]]

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While "turbulent" is a generous way to put Sirius and Kreacher's relationship, here Sirius actually tries to put an effort to be nicer to the house-elf (possibly due to Harry's aura).

* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Sirius claims that Narcissa and Bellatrix were identical twins before puberty, their differing life-styles creating divergencies.

* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: Even when she is being cordial with Sirius, she clearly despises him, him being a suspected Death Eater and her having both a personal and ideological pre-disposition against Death Eaters. It's even worse with the Notts.
