The first time the "young Sirius Black" is mentioned largely goes unnoticed, as we have no idea who he is. All we know is that he loaned his flying motorcycle to Hagrid. While Sirius himself changes little throughout the series, Harry's understanding about him, and thus ours, gradually evolves as plot twists are revealed. In ''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'' it is learned that Sirius is an escaped murderer, then that he is a wizard, and he apparently intends to kill Harry. It is hinted that he has done something that would inspire Harry to seek revenge, but it is not until Christmas that Harry learns that Sirius betrayed Harry's parents to Voldemort, then, when confronted by their friend Peter Pettigrew, killed Pettigrew and twelve incidental Muggles. Not only does Black apparently want to kill Harry, but Harry also discovers that Black is also his godfather, the man who is supposed to be his protector.
Sirius up to then had been believed to be in Voldemort's inner circle, and even his second-in-command. The revelation of this "fact" however, as it is made in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/The Three Broomsticks|the Three Broomsticks]] pub in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 10|''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'']], comes as a surprise to Hagrid – his outburst when receiving the news suggests strongly that, although with the rest of the wizarding world, he must have thought he had precisely the role that Peter Pettigrew had in fact (someone whom personal weakness turned traitor, but by no means a Death Eater leader), he had no idea Black was supposedly so high in Voldemort's council. The difficulty to imagine such a Pettigrewish role in Black may, in fact, have been the reason why the Ministry thought he was in the "inner circle": it was entirely implausible for those who knew his character that foolhardy Sirius Black, with no family bonds to restrict his courage except to the family he supposedly helped murder, succumbed to mere personal weakness, cowardice or avarice and thus turned traitor (as in fact Pettigrew did). Failing that, the only other possibility was that he was a Voldemort supporter from the onset and from fierce inner conviction, play-acting all his personality beforehand until the Potter family murders (apparently reaching back at least to his Sorting ceremony, even purposely tricking the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sorting Hat|Sorting Hat]] into assuming the untruth, but we can doubt the Ministry thought so far). While this may account for the Ministry ascribing him to Voldemort's inner circle, the talk about an actual "second-in-command" must be written off as Ministry hyperbole.
Once Sirius traps Harry in the Shrieking Shack, we learn that Sirius is innocent and it is actually Peter Pettigrew who supported Voldemort; Pettigrew was made the Potters' Secret Keeper and then betrayed them to Voldemort. When Voldemort fell, Pettigrew faked his own murder, framing Sirius, then went into hiding, disguised as the Weasley family's pet rat, Scabbers. When the truth is revealed, proving Sirius' innocence, he assumes a surrogate-father role to Harry. Soon, though, Pettigrew, and the truth, escape, and Sirius becomes a hunted man again.
