Sirius tries to take Harry from Hagrid, but he refuses, saying he's taking him on Dumbledore's orders. Then goes on to tell Sirius where Peter can be found and that he should hurry if he wants his revenge.
Scowling, Sirius lets him pass, knowing he wouldn't be easy to take down, offering his motorcycle, but fires the only curse he was sure to work, the killing curse, into his back, killing him instantly and saving Harry.
He already let down his friends once, letting that old bastard trick them into trusting Wormtail over each other or him as the secret keeper, and taking their invisibility cloak to 'study', he wasn't about to fail them again, and he certainly wasn't about to go off chasing Peter on a wild goose chase on that old fuck's orders… Shame Hagrid couldn't be reasoned with, having long since been brainwashed by him, just like Remus was.
No, it was up to him to protect Harry now and keep him safe as his godfather.
.
Several years later, traveling to Hogwarts Triwizard Tournament??? Many of which were spent fighting legal battles against Dumbledore.
Asks if Harry's sure he wants to do this, it'll be dangerous. Warning, most of everyone there will be his enemy, including the great big Dumbleassdore himself… Maybe talks about the incidents over the recent years that have happened at Hogwarts, possible deaths, and such.
It'll be fine.
Tch, you've gotten a big head since you beat me in a duel last summer, just remember I wasn't trying to kill you.
Right back at you, sadfoot.
Oi, careful there pup, he says, cuffing him across the head.
Hey, Harry complained, rubbing his head, sticking his tongue at him. Ducking away when Sirius raised his hand again.
Cheeky little bugger, Sirius grinned.
...
Harry remembers everything and grows strong with hate in his heart for all those who betrayed him and his parents.

The invisibility cloak is just a better-made cloak than the usual, nothing special.
The stone just takes the memories of the people you know from your mind and gives them form, like a better version of the paintings, nothing special.
The wand is just a better-made wand than the usual, nothing special; it just doesn't need the usual bonds to be used like other wands.

Dark magic - anything that can't easily be healed from, or at all.
Muggle weapons are completely useless against wizards. Bombs can be easily made inert with the proper spell. Atomic weapons are equally useless against them.
.
All dark lords are retarded. Just take the last two as prime examples.
Voldemort is a mad idiot who championed blood purity despite being anything but pure, hypocrisy at its finest. Stupidly ripping his soul apart, driving himself insane.
Grindelwald tried to tell us Muggles were a threat to turn us against them, but everyone with even an ounce of intelligence knows that nothing can compete against magic except magic.
Has there ever been a smart dark lord? There must have been one, right?
Well, some say, and by some I mostly mean me, I say, Dumbledore is the smartest dark wizard of all time. Crippling the nation by taking control of its education so he can bend the minds of future generations to his will while weakening them at the same time by withholding important education, calling rituals, and anything else he wishes to be as dark.
And Dumbledore's most brilliant move is that he actually has idiots believing the defense against the dark arts position is cursed, allowing him to hire anyone he perceives as a threat or inconvenience and remove them at will while simultaneously lowering future generations' fighting capabilities across the board.
Even made Hogwarts into a boarding school to help keep kids away from their families' influence. Only allowed to go back during the summer and holidays. Of course, this fails to work on the darker families, though, since they instill harsh, unforgettable lessons that Dumbledore refuses to implement, lest they find fault with him and his holier-than-thou attitude and image as the leader of the light.
Dumbledore, as dark as he is, is still ultimately a fool, a senile old fool unwilling to go the distance. His bark is far worse than his bite. A man who loves to play in the shadows without getting his hands dirty.
Though the most evil thing he's ever done is to turn the school into a battlefield, and children his weapons, his army.
